consistence and juiciness of its pulp, it 

 more nearly resembles the New-town 

 pipf)in of America, than any other ap- 

 ple with which 1 am acquainted. This 

 does not keep, but is very fine when in 

 season. I find tiie trees are given to bear 

 profusely. 



The Golden Harvey, or Brandy Apple, 

 This variety is generally esteemed in 

 Herefordshire the best fruit of its spe- 

 cies, and I tiiink with reason. Its season 

 commences in November, and it remains 

 in perfection, with proper attention, till 

 May. Tliis variety has long been culti- 

 vated, and it has, consequently, passed 

 the period of youth and vigour, but 

 it is still perfectly well calculated for gar- 

 den culture. A coloured *plate of this 

 variety is given in the eighth number of 

 the Pomona Herefordiensis, with that of 

 its offspring, the Siberian Harv.ey, to 

 whicli alone it is inferior in richness and 

 in the lng!i specific gravity of its juice. It 

 is of little value, except for the press.
