APPLES. 113 



NO. 20. DRAP D'OR OF FRANCE. 



This apple I imported fron London ; it is very large 

 and fair, of a round, and rather flat shape ; the skin 

 is of a bright yellow colour, with small black spots, 

 and delicate blotches : the flesh is white, large grained, 

 crisp and pleasant it ripens in September, and keeps 

 well for some time : the tree is large, vigorous and 

 finely shaped round, regular and spreading ; it is a 

 great bearer, and highly worthy of cultivation. 



NO. 2i. WHITE SWEETING. 



This is a large, fair, pale yellow apple, rather of 

 an oblong shape ; the flesh is white, sweet, and tough, 

 of a pleasant taste ; and makes excellent food for hogs, 

 and very fine cider in September. The tree grows 

 very handsomely and vigorously, and thrives uncom- 

 monly well on sandy ground : it has been much cul- 

 tivated in the neighbourhood of Burlington N. J. 

 where it is known by the name of Wetherills white 

 Sweeting.
