Notes on some New Varieties of Fr'uits. 153 



Bower's Apple, a seedling from Lexington, where it was 

 raised. This is an apple of medium size, of a yellowish or 

 straw color, with a blush in the sun. It has greenish specks, 

 calyx rather closed ; flesh is of a yellowish white. The pe- 

 culiarity of this apple is, that some of the fruit from the same 

 tree are acid, and some are sweet ; and that sometimes part 

 of the same apple will be acid, and another part sweet. It is 

 a winter fruit. 



Northern Sweet is an apple of large size, flattened round- 

 ish form, stem short, calyx small, both moderately sunk. 

 Skin greenish yellow, deeply colored with bright red. Flesh 

 white, fine, and full of a very sweet, abundant juice. Octo- 

 ber and November. 



Walworth is a large apple, of a conical form, of a yellow 

 color, deeply tinged with blush; stem slender, deeply sunk; 

 calyx small, in a rather deep basin ; flesh fine, of a yellowish 

 white color, subacid, rich, and high flavored. September 

 and November. 



Seedling Apple, from Mr. I. F. Fay, Northboro', of 

 medium size, roundish form, with a short, deeply sunk stem ;, 

 calyx open, in a shoal basin ; skin of a yellow ground, nearly 

 covered with red, very deep red in sun ; handsome, of a 

 pleasant flavor ; said to be a great and constant bearer. Sea- 

 son, October. 



Seedling Apple, from Mrs. N. A. Haven, Portsmouth, 

 N. H. This is a large apple, of a greenish yellow color, with 

 fine red cheek ; flesh firm, with a rich, sweet, fine flavor ; 

 keeps till last of April. With respect to the history and origin 

 of this apple no information is possessed. The fact of its. 

 being a seedling is assumed. Judging from the specimens 

 examined, it gives indications of being one of the very best 

 late keeping sweet apples. 



Conway Apple, rather under medium size, and of a some- 

 what conical shape ; stem long, not deeply sunk ; calyx open^ 

 in a moderately deep basin ; skin yellow, with a little blush 

 in sun, and some red specks ; flesh white, very tender, of a 

 pleasant sweet, though not high flavor ; rather dry. Feb- 

 ruary.
