APPLES, 161 



NO, 101. SWAAR APPLE. 



In the Low-Dutch language this name signifies a 

 heavy apple it is a highly celebrated winter table 

 fruit in some parts of New-York, and New-Jersey ; 

 it is a large green apple, of great and uncommon fla- 

 vour and richness ; highly deserving of cultivation, in 

 every collection of fine fruits. 



IN addition to the preceding selection, I have (grow- 

 ing in my orchards) a considerable number of apples 

 which have been highly recommended by the taste, 

 or partiality, of those who have cultivated them ; and 

 some which are spoken of by European writers in 

 such favourable terms, that I was induced to incur the 

 expense of importing them from England and France. 

 Some of them are estimable fruits ; others do not ap- 

 pear to justify the praises which have been bestowed 

 upon them. The following kinds are among them.
