juicy, crisp, with a rich, sprightly subacid flavor.
Very good to best. Core small.

TWENTY OUNCE.

_Synonyms_: Morgan's Favorite, Eighteen Ounce Apple, Aurora, Coleman,
Cayuga Red Streak, Lima, and Wine of Connecticut.

A very large and showy apple. It is a good, sprightly fruit, though not
very high flavored, but its remarkably handsome appearance and large
size render it one of the most popular fruits in the market. The tree is
thrifty, and makes a compact, neat head; bears regular crops, and the
fruit is always fair and handsome. Young wood rich, brownish red. Fruit
very large, roundish, slightly uneven, greenish yellow, boldly splashed
and marbled with stripes of purplish red. Stalk short, set in a wide,
deep cavity. Calyx small. Basin moderately deep. Flesh coarse grained,
sprightly, brisk subacid. Good to very good. October to January.

SWEET BOUGH.

_Synonyms_: Large Yellow Bough, Early Sweet Bough, August Sweet, Sweet
Harvest, Bough, and Washington.

A native apple, ripening in harvest time, and one of the first quality,
only second as a dessert fruit to the Early Harvest. It is not so much
esteemed for the kitchen as the latter, as it is too sweet for pies and
sauce, but it is generally much admired for the table, and is worthy of
a place in every collection. Fruit above the middle size, and oblong
ovate in form. Skin smooth, pale greenish yellow. Stalk rather long, and
the eye narrow and deep. Flesh white, very tender and crisp when fully
ripe, and with a rich, sweet, sprightly flavor. Ripens from the middle
of July to the 10th of August. Tree moderately vigorous, bears
abundantly, and forms a round head. Young shoots grayish brown, very
slightly downy.

PEWAUKEE.

Raised from seed of Duchess of Oldenburg by George P. Pepper, of
Pewaukee, Wis., who sends us specimens, and writes that the tree is
strong and vigorous, center upright, very spreading, an annual bearer,
and one of the hardiest and best for the Northwest; young shoots dark,
brownish red. Fruit medium to large, roundish oblate, skin bright
yellow, striped, splashed and mottled with light and dark red over most
of the surface, covered with a thin greenish bloom, and many large and
small light dots, a few being aureole; stalk short, small; cavity small;
calyx closed; basin medium, slightly corrugated; flesh white, a little
coarse, breaking, half tender; juicy, subacid, slightly aromatic; good;
core small. January to May.
