156 APPLES. 



NO 98. YELLOW EVERLASTING. 



This apple was obtained from Long island : it is a 

 small round fruit, with a pale yellow skin, clouded 

 with black spots the flesh close grained, with a yel- 

 low cast, hard and deficient in flavour it hangs on 

 the tree very late, and may be preserved till the fol- 

 lowing autumn : this is its greatest excellence, for it 

 is deficient in all the other requisites of a fine apple, 

 although much sought for as a rare and curious fruit. 



NO. 94. TEWKSBURY WINTER BLUSH. 



This apple was brought from the township of 

 Tewksbury in Hunterdon county, New-Jersey it is 

 a very handsome fair fruit, with more flavour and jui- 

 ciness than is to be usually found in keeping apples ; 

 1 have eaten them in good condition in August of the 

 second year, preserved without particular care, per- 

 fectly plump and sound. The size is small ; the form 

 round ; the skin smooth : the colour yellow, with a 

 bright red cheek the flesh yellow, tolerably juicy, 

 and well flavoured, with a considerable degree of 

 sprightliness : the tree is of vigorous growth, straight, 

 and well formed the fruit hangs late in the autumn.
