252 Descriptions of Select Varieties of Apples. 



mens satisfied us it was quite distinct. As it proves to be a 

 most excellent apple we now add a full description, and an 

 outline of the fruit. 



Mr. Batty, who is well acquainted with this apple, sent us 

 the following account of it : — 



" I send you a specimen of a variety which recently came 

 to notice here, and which I propose to call the Walworth ; 

 the specimen is under size, and quite overripe, and I do not 

 send it as a sample of the fruit, but to draw attention to it, 

 preparatory to a better acquaintance of it next season, when 

 I will send good specimens, if procurable. I consider it fully 

 entitled to a place in a very select list. Enclosed are two 

 outlines, accurately taken from specimens furnished me by 

 Mr. Walworth, of Plattsburgh, in whose garden stand the 

 only bearing trees of this variety I know of. It is not a 

 seedling here, but was introduced from Rensselaer county, 

 N. Y., where it was called the 'Large Golden Pippin.' It is 

 reputed to have been introduced from New Jersey." 



The specimens received in the fall of 1851, several in 

 number, and of fine size, enabled us to judge fully of its 

 merits, and we consider it a fine addition to our October 

 apples, being of good size, of beautiful appearance, and a 

 very tender fleshed and excellent flavored variety.
