The S tyres growing in my orchards, are as large 

 as Newton Pippins, and remarkably fair; I have kept

NO. 19. FAMA GUSTA. 



Is an apple imported from England, of a large size, 

 somewhat resembling the yellow Bellflower in shape 

 and size. The skin is smooth, of a pale green colour ; 

 the flesh white and hard, with some acidity the stalk 

 is long, and strongly attached both to the twig and 

 fruit; it is inserted in a deep and singularly guttered 

 cavity: the tree grows vigorously, but in an unsightly 

 form, shooting its branches irregularly in a horizontal 

 direction : the time of ripening is October ; this tree is 

 said to have been brought from the Island of Cyprus.
