Rambo. Romanite, Bread and Cheese Apple. Seek-no-farther, Terry's Red Streak. American. A native of Delaware, it succeeds in all soils and lo- cations, and has no superior, as a whole, in the general estimation. It succeeds on sandy soils, but the largest and best fruit is grown on strong limestone soils, giving evidence of the food suited best to it. Fruit, medium ; form, flat, or roundish flattened ; color, yellowish white, marbled and streaked with yellow and red, and with large rough spots; stem, long, slender, often curved; basin, acuminate; calyx, nearly closed ; basin, broad, slightly furrowed ; flesh, green- ish white, tender, sprightly, mild, sub-acid; core, large, rather hol- low ; seeds, abundant, ovate pyriform. Season, October to De- cember, but often keeps to March. Red Canada. Old Nonsuch, Richfield Nonsuch. American. Probably a native of Massachusetts. Tree, slender growth ; shoots diverging ; requires rich strong soil, when it is pro ductive ; and always fair and uniform size of fruit. One of the most valuable for orchard or garden.
