Synonyme.—Stalcubs.

The Vandervere, when in perfection, is one of the most beautiful and finest apples.

It is a native of Wilmington, Delaware, and took its name from a family there. It is a fine old variety, and is highly worthy of extensive cultivation, where the soil is favorable.

Fruit, of medium size, flat. Skin, in its ground color, yellow, streaked and stained with clouded red, but on the sunny side, deepening into rich red, dotted with light grey specks. Stalk, short, inserted in a smooth, rather wide cavity. Calyx, small, closed, set in a regular, well formed, basin, of moderate depth.
