in this state: one end of each apple was strongly 

 marked, externally, by the character of the Russet 

 parent, the other equally resembled the Pippin the 

 flavour and juice of each end corresponded exactly 

 with its external appearance. It is highly probable, 

 that by this operation of nature, our orchards are con- 

 tinually producing new varieties, in form, colour and 

 flavour.

 glish publication, in which it is stated, that an apple 

 has been obtained from crossing the Siberian crab, 

 remarkable for hardiness, with the Lulham Green, 

 the product of which exceeds in flavour and strength, 

 all cider apples known in that country.
