Lind. Grave Slije. A superb looking German apple, which originated at Gravei.* stein, in Holstein, and is thought one of the finest apples of the north of Europe. It fully sustains its reputation here, and is, unquestionably, a fruit of first rate quality. Fruit large, rather flattened, and a little one sided or angular, broadest at the Fig. 32. Gravenstein, Stalk quite short and strong, deeply set. Calyx large, in a wiQt- deep, rather irregular basin. Skin greenish yellow at first, but becoming bright yellow, and beautifully dashed and pencilled and marbled with light and deep red and orange. Flesh tender and crisp, with a high flavoured, somewhat aromatic taste. Ripens with us in September and October, but will keep a month longer. The trees are very thrifty strong growers, and bear young. 8.
