This fine amateur fruit, which appears destined to take the place of the Dyer, being more handsome, is a seedling from the _Stillwater Sweet_, and was produced by L.S. Mote, of Miami County, Ohio. Fruit large, conical, truncated, angular; Surface somewhat uneven, smooth, waxen-yellow; Dots scattered, distinct, gray, with green bases. Basin narrow, folded; Eye small, long, closed. Cavity wide, shallow, angular; Stem long or medium, sometimes knobby. Core small, oval, open, clasping; Seeds numerous, long, angular; Flesh yellow, very fine grained, very tender, juicy; Flavor sub-acid, very sprightly, and spicy, aromatic; Quality very best; Use, table and kitchen; Season, September. This is essentially an amateur's fruit, as its texture and color disqualify it for market, while its delicious flavor renders it very attractive. =Detroit Black.= DETROIT RED?--GRAND SACHEM. [Illustration: Fig. 168.--DETROIT BLACK.] Supposed to be of Canadian origin, in the neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. I have put these two names together, because the fruits presented as _Black_ and as _Red Detroit_ are so very much alike in all respects that it is not worth while to consider them distinct. Fruit large to very large, conic, angular; Surface very smooth, shining, deep red shaded, almost black in some specimens, no striping; Dots, numerous, minute, indented, gray. Basin deep, abrupt, folded; Eye small, open. Cavity wide, wavy; stem very short. Core wide, closed or open, clasping the eye; Seeds numerous, angular, brown; Flesh whitish, tender, breaking, juicy; Flavor acid, poor; Quality second to third rate; Use, kitchen and drying; Season, September and October. The Red variety may be distinct, as it keeps later. =Fall Geneting.= [Illustration: Fig. 169.--FALL GENETING.] Elliott says this is an old Connecticut variety. Tree vigorous and productive. Fruit large, flattened-conic, angular; Surface smooth, greenish-yellow, blushed; Dots rare, minute. Basin shallow, plaited; Eye small, closed; Calyx reflexed. Cavity deep, wide, regular, brown; Stem short. Core small, regular, closed, clasping; Seeds numerous, plump or imperfect, brown; Flesh yellow, fine grained, juicy, crisp; Flavor sub-acid, not very rich; Quality good; Use, table, kitchen; Season, October. =Ferdinand.= I procured my trees from Virginia, where it originated. Tree vigorous, upright. Fruit large, flattened-conic, irregular; Surface smooth, pale green or yellow. Basin shallow; Eye medium, open. Cavity medium; Stem stout. Flesh yellow, tender; Flavor sub-acid; Quality good; Season, "November to March," according to Mr. Summer, South Carolina. =Harrison.= [Illustration: Fig. 170.--HARRISON.]
