NO. 36. LONG ISLAND RUSSET. 



This is a small apple, very much in appearance 

 like the Coopers llusseting; the form is rather ob- 

 long, diminishing towards the crown, which is very 

 kollow ; the stalk is a full inch in length, planted 

 very deep the flesh is dry and sweet ; makes a very 

 sweet sirupy cider, which when fined is much admi- 

 red the skin is of a yellow russet, clouded with 

 black spots this apple keeps well. 



NO. 37. GOLDEN PEARMAIN. 



Called in New-York and East-Jersey, the Ruck- 

 mans, or Dutch Pearmain ; and in other places the 

 Red Russet ; is a most valuable apple for cider, and 

 for family use : the size is middling, the form rather 

 flat, the skin rough, with a large portion of bright 

 russet, mingled with red towards the sun when fully 

 ripe the flesh is rich, tender, and rather dry it is a 

 great and uniform bearer; the tree grows luxuriantly, 

 with strong shoots, and a close compact head the 

 fruit ripens in November, and keeps well through the 

 winter.
