Different Parts of the Fruit : The Base (A) is the end in whicli tlie stem is inserted. The Eye (JB) is the opposite end, in the apple, pear, etc., that have an adhering calyx. The JVecJc, in pears, the contracted part near the stalk, as seen in fig. 50. The Point is the end opposite the stem in stone fruits, berries, etc., that have no calyx, and consequently no eye. The Length is the distance from stem to point, or eye, A to J5, fig. 42. The Width, a line cutting the fruit across, or at right angles with the length. The Pasin, the depression around the eye, or calyx, in kernel fruit, B, fig. 42. The Cavity, the depression around the stem. The Suture, in stone fruits, the furrow-like depression running from the base to the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Barry, Patrick, 1816-1890.
