Apples
Surface smooth, greenish-white, rarely blushed with red.
Basin broad, shallow, and regular or wavy; Eye medium, open.

tested in the North.
=Campfield.=
NEWARK SWEETING.
[Illustration: Fig. 52.--CAMPFIELD.]
Tree vigorous, spreading, productive. This fruit is especially
valuable for cider, but it may be used also in the kitchen; being a
long keeper and often beautifully colored at maturity in the spring,
it is often exposed on the fruit-stands, where it attracts purchasers
by the great beauty of its brilliant colors.
Fruit always fair, but its figure is variable, being sometimes
globular or conical. The characteristic form is round-oblate, regular;
Size medium.
Surface very smooth, of a dull green, often suffused with a faint
blush on the exposed side; but at maturity, bright lemon yellow,
shaded with carmine; Dots minute, gray and indented.
Basin shallow, regular; Eye rather large, closed; Segments of medium
length.
Cavity regular, with medium width and depth; Stem medium, rather
stout.
Core wide, regular, closed, meeting the eye; Seeds numerous, plump;
Flesh white, firm, tough; Juice very sweet and rich at maturity,
making excellent cider.
Season, December until March.
=Dillingham.=
This variety was found in an old orchard of D.C. Richmond, near
Sandusky, Ohio. Tree productive, and sufficiently vigorous.
[Illustration: Fig. 53.--DILLINGHAM.]
Fruit round-oblate rather than flat, generally regular and of medium
size; Surface rough, yellowish-green, and bronzed, or shaded with a
purplish tint; Dots numerous russet.

of medium size, red.
Core small and closed, meeting the eye; Seeds numerous, large, brown.
Flesh yellow; Flavor sweet, juicy; Use, good for baking; Season,
November to February. Not highly esteemed nor largely cultivated,
though its productiveness and sweetness would render it desirable for
stock-feeding.
