On the Russian Apples

Within this book's introductory comments, Charles Gibb of Quebec explains how Regal "began by studying the apples growing in his neighborhood...The apples exhibited were from different parts of the Province of St. Petersburg." His expert understanding of Russian apples is apparent in his work Russkaya Pomologay (1868), where he clarified the naming (and synonyms) of these fruits. Apple growers of all levels of expertise who seek in-depth coverage on a wide array of Russian apple varieties will find Regel's work to be comprehensive and enlightening.
