The prevail- the error, and designed correcting it in ing colour is yellow, streaked with a future edition of his work. It occurred red of darker or lighter shades, and from the label having been lost in the with a delicate bloom on well-ripened original package, and a loose Hagloe Crab label being found, was supposed to attach to the tree in question. It is now well known in Pennsylvania specimens. The outline round, some- times a little irregular. Stem short; the eye deeply seated.

Ripe, August and Septem- esteemed in the Philadelphia market i ber. as a cooking apple; its fair size, above I Fig. 6.—(P. 45.). Early Queen. (Fig. 7.) The ap- ple here represented, has been known for many years around Philadelphia by the above name ; it is one of the earli- est seen in our market, making its ap- pearance early in July and continuing throughout August. When ripened in the sun it is nearly of a uniform aspect —striped and clouded with red of darker or lighter shades on a greenish-yellow ground, the red frequently the prevail- ing colour : others ripened in the shade have but little red, the stripes more dis- tinctly marked on a greenish ground, thus presenting fruit from the same tree of very different appearance. The size is in good specimens, above medium ; outline rather flattened, and narrowing towards the blossom end. Calyx quite small, nearly closed and set in a shal- low basin. Stem short, seldom rising to the crown of the fruit. Flesh white, with occasional pink streaks and clouds; crisp, and when over ripe, mealy. Baldwin. Ken: Down. (Fig. 8.)
