SWAAR.
American, " produced by the Dutch settlers, on the Hudson ; its
name in low Dutch meanino; heavy." On all warm, rich, sandy soils
it is one of the very finest fruits, and a good keeper. On cold clayey
grounds it does not succeed well, as a general thing ; the past year,
however, we have received of it gro\^^l on clay loam, limestone sub-
soil, equalling or surpassing any ever grown on sand. On the rich
prairie soils of the west, it is said to succeed^ proving a good bearer
and profitable.
Fruit, medium, to large ; form, roundish, slightly ribbed or un-
equal on its surface and often a little angular ; color, greenish yel-
low at first, becoming a dull rich yellow, dotted with distinct brown
specks, sometimes marbled with gray russet on the side and round
the stem, and often tinged with dull red ; stem, slender ; cavity round,
deep; calyx, small, half closed, hasin, shallow, somewhat plaited;
fiesh, yellowish, fine grained, juicy, tender, spicy aromatic perfume ;
core, small, to medium ; seeds, broad, ovate. Season, January to

Sweet Romanite.
Sweet Nonsuch, | Orange Sweet, erroneously^
This is a variety introduced to the Ohio Pomological Society by
W. B. Lipsey, of Morrow County, Ohio. We have not been able
to identify it with any variety heretofore described. The flesh being
fine grained and firm — somewhat like the Gilpin or Romanite — prob-
ably induced the name. It is grown in Illinois, under name of
" Sweet Nonsuch," and introduced there under the erroneous name
of " Orange Sweet." Tree, hardy, moderate but regular bearer.
Size, medium ; form, roundish flattened, very regular ; color,
greenish yellow ground, mostly striped and overspread with bright
red and covered with a fine bloom ; stem, short ; cavity, open, regu-
lar, with little russet ; calyx, large, segments in divisions, short, half

There is another Sweet Romanite grown in the Western States,
which is oblong ; stem, long and slender ; color, light yellow, striped
with red ; Jlesh, more yellow and dry — an inlerior or unworthy
variety.
There is also a Sweet Nonsuch grown which is flat, with slender

American. Native of Delaware. There is much confusion rela-
tive to this apple, and, while it is extensively distributed and grown,
it has numerous synonyms. The variety described as " Smoke-
house," by Dr. W. D. Brinckle, in Horticulturist, vol. 3, p. 834, we
received specimens of, last winter, from Pennsylvania, and could do
tect no difference from the Vanderven when well grown. It may,
114
THE APPLE.
however, be distinct. The tree is a free grower, productive, and
early bearer. Grown on soils deficient in lime, like many of our
western bottoms, and some of prairie; it has always m^re or less
of dry bitter rot, but, when supplied with lime, the rot disappears,
and the fruit increases in size and improves in quality ; needs good
culture. Grown North, it is smaller in size and much more conical,
and less highly colored than South. Young shoots spotted.
Fruity from medium to large ; form^ round flattened, sometimes
angular ; color^ orange yellow, striped and stained with yellow red,
few streaks of deeper red when grown exposed to sun, dotted at in-
tervals of a quarter to half inch with large yellow russet specks ;
when grown North, these specks are more of gray and much smaller,
often russeted about the stem ; stem^ projecting about even with
surrounding surface; cavity^ deep, open, regular; calyx^ with small
segments ; hasin, open, broad, sometimes slight waves or furrows ;
fleshy yellowish white, crisp, tender, sprightly, mild sub-acid ; core^
round, compact ; seeds, large, ovate pyriform. Season, December to
February.

An old variety from Connecticut. For all qualities of tree and
fruit has no superior. Very popuhir in its native State, all South
and West. Grown in rich loamy alluvial soils of the South, it is
much russeted, and about the stem the russet has appearance of rich
bronze ; progressing northward, it grtidually loses its russet, until on
light sandy soils in Michigan, it becomes a pale yellow ground, with
stripes and splashes of clear red and minute dots.

Wine Sop.
Probably originated in New-Jersey. First described by Coxe.
The tree is hardy, an early and very productive bearer, irregular in
its growth, not forming a handsome head, but producing fair fine
fruit in all soils, from poor sand to limestone clay — largest in the
latter, and finest texture in the former — fine on dry prairies.
Fruit, medium ; form, ovate conical, flattened at base, some-
times roundish conical, occasionally angular and slightly ribbed ;
color, grown North, a bright clear red stained and striped with
darker shades, and with spot>i of light yellow ; grown South, the
dark red becomes most prominent, while the patches of light yel-
low at base are more often seen ; it is also more irregular or an-

This variety is extensively grown ; West it becomes large ; keeps
