APPLES. 



snow-white colour of its flesh, or, as some say, from the village 

 whence it was first taken to England. It is an excellent, pro- 

 ductive, autumn apple, and is especially valuable in northern 

 latitudes. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, somewhat flattened. Skin 

 with a ground of pale greenish yellow, mixed with faint streaks 

 of pale red on the shady side, but marked with blotches and short 

 stripes of darker red, and becoming a fine deep red in the sun. 

 Stalk quite slender, half an inch long, planted in a narrow funnel 

 shaped cavity. Calyx small and set in a shallow rather narrow 

 basin. Flesh remarkably white, very tender, juicy and good, 

 with a slight perfume. Ripe in October and November. A 

 regular bearer, and a handsome dessert fruit. 



59. PORTER. Man. Thomp. 



A first rate New-England fruit, raised by the Rev. S. Porter, 

 of Sherburne, Mass., and deservedly a great favourite in the 

 Boston market. The fruit is remarkably fair, and the tree ia 

 very productive.
