114 Pomolo<rical Notices. 



The trees grow very vigorously, with spreading tops and 

 slender branches, and bear abundantly every year. 



Polly Bright. — A variety of fine appearance, much resem- 

 bling good specimens of the Maiden's Blush. It is said to be 

 a native of western Virginia in the neighborhood of the Mo- 

 nongahela. Decidedly a good keeper, a fine bearer, often 

 large, always handsome and good. 



Fall Witic. — From Belmont county, and believed to be 

 undescribed. It is one of the best flavored apples of its sea- 

 son, which is September and October. 



Red Ashmore. — A beautiful apple, said to have been intro- 

 duced into Ohio, from Brownsville, Pa. It may be called 

 one of the most beautiful apples grown. The tree is a mod- 

 erate bearer. Fruit about medium size, and often large : form 

 globular : skin smooth, clear, beautiful deep red : flesh yellow- 

 ish white, juicy, delicate, and very pleasant. Ripe from Oc- 

 tober to December.

 soms are not injured by frost, and therefore deemed valuable.

 white or gray specks : stem short and stout : Flesh yellowish 

 white. Keeps until March.

 ular, and somewhat ribbed ; skin rich yellow ground, striped 

 and splashed with rich clear red : stem short, in a deep cav-

Philips Sioeeting. — A large and handsome sweet apple, 

 which has already been noticed by us, (Vol. XIII. p. 187.) 

 It is supposed to be a seedling of Coshocton Co., Ohio. It is 

 a thrifty and great bearer : fruit remarkably handsome : color 

 red, or striped with dark red, over a ground of mottled red 

 and yellow : size medium : form nearly round, and little flat- 

 tened : stem three quarters of an inch long : flesh, rich, yel- 

 low, tender, juicy, and crisp, with an agreeable flavor. Ripe

Many other varieties are briefly noticed, whose names ap- 

 pear to be new ; but, as no particular descriptions are given, 

 we defer an account of them till another year.
