Fruit full medium, regular, oblate, and sometimes nearly round. In appearance this apple is not very prepossessing, as the surface is rough, the yellow ground is obscured by mixed red, upon which are red stripes and streaks of russet; dots are numerous, minute, indented, yellow or fawn colored. Basin rather deep, abrupt, regular or wavy; Eye small, closed. Cavity wide, wavy or regular, green; Stem medium to long, slender. Core large, regular, closed; Seeds numerous, some are imperfectly developed; Flesh yellow, fine grained, juicy; flavor sub-acid to sweet, very aromatic, agreeable, fitting it admirably for a dessert fruit, as which it is nearly first rate. Season from September to December. =Connett Sweet.= [Illustration: Fig. 62.--CONNETT SWEET.] The tree grows vigorously, is upright and productive, bearing early.

Fruit of good size, regular, flat; Surface rather rough, dull red, with indistinct stripes; Dots few, dark, sunken. Basin not deep, wide, regular; Eye rather large, closed. Cavity wide, regular, brown; Stem medium to long. Core wide, closed; Seeds of medium size; Flesh compact, yellow, fine grained; Flavor very sweet; Quality very good; Season, December to March. =Granniwinkle.= This is supposed to be the famous cider apple of New Jersey, described by Coxe, except that the form is different; it has as good qualities for making a rich cider; specimens obtained from W.C. Hampton. Fruit small, oblate, regular; Surface dull red, striped purple; Dots numerous, yellow. Basin wide, regular; Eye large, open. Cavity wide, regular, brown; Stem long, inclined.

[Illustration: Fig. 63.--JERSEY SWEET.] In some parts of the country this is a favorite baking apple, but its great productiveness renders it small, and makes it rather a stock apple. Tree vigorous, round-headed; Shoots short-jointed and red; Foliage abundant. Fruit medium, regular, globular-oblate, sometimes rather conical, (according to Elliott & Downing, roundish-ovate, but the drawing given by the latter is globular); Surface smooth, yellow, nearly covered with red, mixed, striped and splashed carmine, more or less distinctly; Dots generally minute. Basin medium to wide, regular; Eye small, generally closed. Cavity wide, regular or wavy, rather deep, brown, and in Michigan often green; Stem medium to long, green. Core wide, regular, partially open in some specimens, but generally closed; Seeds numerous, wide, pointed, plump; flesh pale yellow, tender, fine grained, juicy; Flavor very sweet, aromatic and rich; Use, the dessert, for those who like sweet apples, but especially valued for baking and for feeding stock. Season August to October.
