APPLES. 



NO. 130. JOHN APPLE. 



Called also Deux Annee's from its property of long 

 keeping it is a cider apple of celebrity in England, 

 and is characterized by Philips in his poem on cider 

 very correctly. "Nor John apple, whose withered 

 rind, entrencht with many a furrow, aptly represents 

 decrepid age." It is a small conical fruit ; the skin 

 tough and yellow, with a small portion of red towards 

 the sun ; the flesh yellow, rich, hard and dry ; fit only 

 for cider it hangs late on the tree, which grows in 

 an upright form, the bark of a yellowish cast. 



NO. 131. WAXEN APPLE-. 



Is a large, flat, yellow apple ; its transverse shape 

 rather eliptical, like the Pennock : the skin has much 

 the appearance of a large Newton Pippin the stem 

 short; the eye deep; the flesh rich, sprightly, juicy, 

 firm, and yet breaking ripens in December ; much 

 esteemed in Virginia. 



NO. 133. LARGE GREENING.
