The Winter-Queening thrives well, and produces excellent 

 and durable Fruit, of which the Planters make good Cyder, 

 and is seldom prejudiced by the Worms. 



The Harvy-Apple, likewise thrives well, whereof they make 

 Cyder. 



The Leather-coats, both Apple and Tree stand well, have 

 as great produce, and thrive as well as any in this Province. 



The Jenneting is an early Fruit, thrives well, but is soon 

 gone, in this warm Climate. 



The Coddling looks as fine and fair to the Eye as any 

 Fruit in the World, yet the Tree suffers after the same man- 

 ner as the Pearmains do, or rather worse, for they commonly 

 dye before they come to their full Growth. The Planters 

 make the first of their Coddling Cyder against the Reaping 

 of the Wheat, which is in the beginning of June, as I have 

 already made mention. 



The Long-stalk, is the same here as in Europe, it thrives 

 well, and makes good Cyder. 



The Lady-Finger, or Long-Apple, is the same as in Europe, 

 and full as good. There are several other sorts of Apples in 

 this Country called by different ^ames, according to Peo- 

 ples fancies, and most of them good for Cyder. All these 

 Fruits are very cooling, therefore good in Inflammations and 

 Fevers, they gently loosen the Belly, and are of excellent 

 use in all Burnings, Scaldings, (&c. and take away the Heat 

 of St. Anthony's Fire. 



I never met with the Wilding or Crah Tree growing in 

 this Province, or any other part of America that I have 

 been in. 



There are several sorts of Pears in this Country, all which 

 thrive well, and are as good as any in Europe, such as the 

 Katherine, Sugar, Warden, Burgomot, Jenneting, Quince 

 Pears, and many others, which are as well relished as any I 



;N^ 2 have
