140 APPLES. 



a little streaked with brighter red, and marked with numerous 

 dots. Calyx set in a rather wide, even basin. Stalk short, 

 deeply inserted. Flesh rather yellowish, firm, with a mild and 

 agreeable flavour. November to February. 



164. SWEETING, WELLS'. 



Wells' Sweeting is one of the most sprightly and agreeable, 

 for the dessert, of all the early winter sweet apples. The only 

 old tree in our knowledge, grows in the orchard of Mr. John 

 Wells, near Newburgh, N. Y. We have not been able to trace 

 it farther than this neighbourhood, though it may not have ori- 

 ginated here. It makes stout, stiff, upright shoots, and bears well. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, broadest in the middle, and 

 lessening each way. Skin smooth, pale, dull green, (like a Rhode 

 Island Greening in colour, but paler,) with a dull red, or brown- 

 ish cheek. Stalk rather slender and short. Calyx short, set in 

 quite a shallow basin. Flesh very white, and very tender, 

 abounding with a rich, agreeable, sprightly juice. November 

 to January. 



165. TWENTY OUNCE. H. Mag. 



Twenty Ounce Apple. ) of Cayuga Twenty Ounce Pippin. 

 Eighteen Ounce Apple. J co., N. Y. Cayuga Red Streak ! 



A. very large and showy apple, well known in Cayuga co., 

 N. Y., and probably a native there. It is a good, sprightly fruit, 

 though not very high flavoured, but its remarkably handsome 

 appearance, and large size, render it one of the most popular fruits 

 in market. The tree is thrifty and makes a compact, neat head, 

 bears regular crops, and the fruit is always fair and handsome. 



Fruit very large, roundish. Skin slightly uneven, yellowish- 

 green, delicately striped and splashed with red, which on the 

 sunny side quite covers the surface. Stalk stout, set in a round 

 cavity. Flesh not very fine grained, juicy, sprightly, with a 

 pleasant sub-acid flavour. This fruit was first introduced into 

 the eastern states by Geo. Rowland, Esq., of New-Bedford. 



166. TEWKSBURY WINTER BLUSH. Coxe. 



Mr. Coxe says, this apple was brought from Tewksbury, 

 Hunterdon county, N. J. It is a handsome, fair fruit, with 

 more flavour and juiciness than is usual in long-keeping apples. 

 They may be kept till August, without particular care, quite 

 plump and sound. The size is small, rather flat. The skin 

 smooth, yellow, with a red cheek. Flesh yellow, with more 

 juice and flavour than any other long-keeping variety. The 

 tree grows rapidly and straight and the fruit hangs till late in 

 the autumn. January to July.
