THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 175 



A variety which is distinct from the Quince of Cole was 

 described by Coxe in 1817. According to Downing, it is in appear- 

 ance much like a large Yellow Newtown, and the young wood is of 

 a different shade of color from that of the Quince of Cole, being 

 dull reddish-brown instead of clear reddish-brown, with buds 

 small, reddish and pointed, instead of short, abrupt and prominent. 

 The following is the description of the fruit given by Coxe (2) : 

 " The size of the apple is large ; the shape flat ; the skin, when fully 

 ripe, is yellow; the flesh rich, yellow and juicy in appearance it 

 somewhat resembles a large yellow Newtown Pippin. It came 

 originally from the state of New York; ripens in November." 



This variety is unknown to us, and we have received no report 

 concerning it from any of our correspondents.

This is an attractive red apple of good size and very good qual- 

 ity, in season from midautumn to midwinter. The tree is a 

 pretty good grower and an early bearer, yielding some fruit annu- 

 ally or nearly annually, but in many cases it is not satisfactorily 

 productive and the fruit is not very uniform in size and quality, 

 so that there is a considerable loss from unmarketable fruit. Not 

 recommended for commercial planting in New York.
