483. CORSE’S FAVORITE.
A Canadian apple, raised near Montreal. It is described as an apple of extraordinary flavor; it commences ripening in August, and has this singular peculiarity in maturing: it is six weeks from the time the first are fit for the table, before the last are so; it should be perfectly matured on the tree, and eaten immediately.—[Ken. Amer. Or.] 26.
Such is the character of this fruit in America, but I have had no experience of it here.—H.

Stalk, very short, and rather strong, downy, deeply inserted in a wide, one-sided cavity. Calyx, small, in a narrow, shallow basin. Flesh, white, tender, with a mild, agreeable flavor. December to March.—[Down. Fr. Amer.] 103.
