brauck, Esq., from whom Mr. Buel first received this ex- 

 cellent fruit. The original tree is now growing on the 

 farm of Mr. Philip Rick, of Woodstock, Ulster Co., N. Y. 

 This description of Mr. Buel perfectly corresponds with 

 the fruit which he sent me in January, 1834. 



80. HUGH'S BLUSH. 



Large, and excellent; very handsome, red striped; in 

 form of the Wine apple. One of the best fruits of Mary- 

 land. It keeps till spring. This fruit I received from my 

 friend Robert Sinclair, of Baltimore. 



81. LADY APPLE. 



POMME D'API. 



The tree grows upright, but slowly ; the fruit in clus-

 shade, deep red next the sun ; the flesh firm, of a pleasant 

 taste, but not high-flavored. November to March. 



82. LEMON PIPPIN. Dr. S. P. Hildreth. 



A fruit of good size, of a yellow color, russeted next 

 the sun ; flesh juicy, aromatic, and breaking ; and one of

 The tree is a great and constant bearer, and the fruit 

 keeps till January. It originated at Marietta, Ohio.

 produce of his farm in Weston. A large and beautiful 

 fruit, of a globular form, and fine bright straw color; 

 sweet, slightly acid, and of fine flavor. It keeps well in 

 winter. The tree bears well. 



84. MARQUIS. Dr. Fislce. 



The fruit is of handsome size, of a red color ; the flesh 

 melting, juicy, and of very fine flavor. The tree is of up- 

 right growth, a good bearer, and the fruit keeps till April. 

 Such is the account of the Hon. O. Fiske, of Worcester, 

 Mass., where this fruit lately originated, and where it is 

 stated, that this variety is, by good judges, regarded as one 

 of the finest of apples. 



85. *MINISTER.
