40 FRUIT BOOK. 



a light greenish yellow, striped with bright red, but 

 the red seldom extends to the eye ; flesh yellow, 

 light, high flavored and excellent. This is one of 

 the very finest apples which New England has pro- 

 duced. It ripens from November to February, and 

 deserves a place in every collection of fruits, how- 

 ever small. This apple received its present name 

 from the circumstance of the late Rev. Dr. Spring, 

 of Newburyport, having purchased the first fruit 

 brought to market. 



No. 51. Green Sweet. This apple is of small 

 size, round, and rather flat ; the skin at maturity is 

 a dull green, approaching to yellow ; the flesh very 

 sweet and good. It is in use during the winter 

 months, and can be brought to market later in the 

 spring than any other sweet apple. Much culti- 

 vated in the north part of Essex county, Mass. 



The following varieties are added to this edition by the compiler. 



No. 52. Bevarfs Favorite. This is one of 

 the earliest and finest apples of New Jersey, sup- 

 posed to have originated there ; the size is me- 

 dium ; form somewhat flat ; color yellow, striped 

 with red ; flesh juicy ; a great bearer; ripening in July. 



No. 53. Superb Sweet. A large sized supe- 

 rior sweet fruit ; form rather flat ; color red, striped ;

 seed by Jacob Dean, of Mansfield, Mass.
