Agriculture of New York: comprising an account of the classification, composition and distribution of the soils and rocks, and the natural waters of the different geological formations; together with a condensed view of the climate and the agricultural productions of the state. Agriculture; Natural history. VARIETIES OF THE APPLE. 9 Order II. Breadth greater than the lieight. B. Ends unequal. BoRoviTSKY. Fruit angular, medium size. Stripes faint. Benoni. Fruit medium size. Siiin deep red. Cole. Fruit above the medium size, angular. The line a a (fig. 1) is drawn through the base, at the junction of the stem with the flesh at the bottom of the depression ; and 6 A is a line drawn through the crown, at the bottom of the calyx depression. When this depression is very shallow, the end is narrow, although it may speedily widen, and the two extremities may appear at first sight subequal : so when the stem depression is shallow, this end is often very narrow, especially when the depression is filled up, or obsolete. These proportions, I believe, will be found very important in determining the names of fruit; but as they have not as yet received much attention, it is impossible to make use of them except when an outline figure is given : these should be drawn with great care from the fruit itself. In figure 2, the line c e repressnts the height of the apple, and, like the lines representing the breadth at the extremities already referred to, will be found quite constant in its relations in the same varie- ties, although produced in different sections of this country. If this is not true, we may despair of describing fruit so as to become useful to inquirers. Fig. Vis.
