that I know of. This apple was first described by Willian Coxe iu his work on 

 fruit, in 1817; also by A. J. Downing, in his first edition of "Fruits and Fruit 

 Trees," in ISlo. I received grafts of this variety from the Coxe orchard about 

 thirty years since, which was in bearing the past season on the same grounds 

 with Long lied Pearmain, which gave me a good opportunity for comparison, 

 and I am satisfied they are distinct. 



I do not consider either Kaign's Spitzenburgh or Long Ked Pearmain of 

 much value, now we have so many better kinds, the object being to correct 

 mistakes. If I am not correct as to the history, etc., of the above two apples, 

 will some person who is better posted give us some light on the subject?
