Terry is verj' pen- erallv recommended for the cotton-belt of the South, usually with the advice that it be more largely planted. It is, however, an old sort that seems to be losing in popularity. The qualities that particularly reconunend it for the South are that the crop ripens late and keeps well. Terry is said to have originated in Georgia a good many years ago, but when or where does not appear; neither are there full descriptions of the variety. Catalogs de- scribe the fruits as of medium size, pale yellow overspread with rich red and russet; the qual- ity is said to be good; the season is from November until March. TETOFSKY. Tetofsky is the standard early apple in the northern limits of apple cul- ture. It has. too. some value in more southerly regions, the fruits being attractive in color and pleasantly acidulous in flavor. The apples are small, however, and fall short, when all charac- ters are considered, of several other summer apples in the great fruit regions. Tetofsky is a pioneer Russian variety, having been imported in 1835 by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Tree dwarfish, vigorous, very erect, dense, with stout branches, filled with small spurs. Fruit small, uniform in size and shape, oblate or round, sometimes conic, regular ; stem medium in length, slender; cavity obtuse, medium to deep, broad, usually sj-mmetrical, gently furrowed; calyx large, closed; lobes long, broad; basin shallow, furrowed and wrinkled; skin thick, tough, smooth, waxy, greenish-yellow, more or less striped and splashed with bright red, overspread with faint bloom ; dots inconspicuous, pale, submerged; calyx-tube long, wide, funnel-shape; stamens median; core large, axile or somewhat abaxile; cells open; core-lines clasping; carpels broadly round, concave; seeds short, plump; flesh white, firm, coars
