The Journal of Agriculture, St. Louis, recently published a drawing and description of an apple under the above name, since which we have received samples of the fruit, forwarded us by the courtesy of D. S. Hol-man, Esq., secretary of the Greene County (Mo.) Horticultural Society. Mr. Holman writes us that it was grown from a seed of Rawle's Janet, by Mr. Martin Ingram, and that the tree is productive and the fruit keeping until July. We would suggest that the word seedling be dropped from the name, and that the apple be called simply Ingram. Fruit, medium or below, roundish oblate; color, a rich orange-yellow ground mostly overspread and with broken stripes of rich, warm red, gray russet dots, and slight marblings, with suffused surroundings; stem, medium length, slender; cavity, broad, open, pretty deep, often with a moldy, almost downy, russet appearance; calyx, small, open, with recurved segments; basin, open, medium depth, sometimes slightly furrowed ; flesh, yellowish white, moderately juicy, rich, crisp breaking, mild sub-acid, almost sweet; core, rather large for the size of the apple, with large capsules well filled with seeds, which are full and plump, and very dark brown.

Received and eaten May 18th, 1868.
