114 APPLES. 



great beauty, good flavour, vigorous growth and productiveness, 

 unite to recommend it to orchard planters. The original tree 

 of this new sort is growing on the farm of Mr. Philip Rick, of 

 Kingston, New-York, a neighbourhood unsurpassed in the world 

 for its great natural congeniality to the apple. It was first de- 

 scribed by the late Judge Buel, and named by him, in compli- 

 ment to Jonathan Hasbrouck, Esq., of the same place, who 

 made known the fruit to him. The colour of the young wood 

 is a lively light brown, and the buds at the ends of the shoots 

 are large. 



Fruit of medium size, regularly formed, roundish-ovate, or 

 tapering to the eye. Skin thin and smooth, the ground clear 

 light yellow, nearly covered by lively red stripes, and deepening 

 into brilliant or dark red in the sun. Stalk three fourths of an 

 inch long, rather slender, inserted in a deep, regular cavity. 

 Calyx set in a deep, rather broad basin. Flesh white, rarely a 

 little pinkish, very tender and juicy, with a mild sprightly fla- 

 vour. This fruit, evidently, belongs to the Spitzenburgh class. 

 November to March.

A large and beautiful English, early winter sort ; of good

 short. Flesh yellowish, juicy, firm, with an agreeable, though 

 not very high flavour. 



110. KENTISH FILL-BASKET. Thomp. Lind. Ron. 



Potter's Large Seedling Ron.

 ameter, roundish, slightly ribbed or irregular. Skin smooth,
