124 CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT 



John Ogden, of Newark, and from Mr. Asa Hillyes, 

 of Orange, Essex county, New-Jersey, were obtained j 

 and he, with thanks, expresses his obligations to them 

 for their ready assistance and communication. At- 

 tentive, however, as his friends have been, he cannot 

 suppose that the list comprehends every apple in the 

 United jStates ; but he is satisfied, that the mst valu- 

 able have been described, and he will gladly receive 

 accounts, of any others, which may have been unno- 

 ticed, and add them to the list, should another edition 

 of this work be called for." 



John Kenrick, esquire, and sons, of Newton, near 

 Brighton, have for several years been engaged in a 

 nursery establishment consisting of a handsome collec- 

 tion of fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs. From 

 their long experience they are enabled to conduct such 

 an establishment with much advantage ; and by the 

 aid ajid encouragement of several gentlemen who are 

 in the habit of importing horticultural productions 

 from abroad, their nursery is continually increasingin 

 variety and improving in character. They are par- 

 ticularly desirous to discard all such fruit as are known 

 to have become deteriorated or subject to blast, and to 

 cultivate such only as stand high in the opinion of 

 connoisseurs as possessing superior qualities. 



From the ample catalogues of Dr. Mease and Wil- 

 liam Coxe, esquire, and from other sources, 1 have se- 

 lected a list of those which are held in most estima- 

 tion, and such as are generally in demand. at market* 



Those marked c. are cider apples. 



1. American pippin, c. "was brought from Maryland 

 to Marcus Hook, thirty years since, it is of a flattish 

 form, middle size, firm substance, resembling the van- 

 devere, and will keep till harvest. Mr. Coxe de- 

 scribes it as a long fruit, having a dull red stripe. 

 Fourteen bushels of these apples are required, at Mar- 

 cus Hook, to make one barrel of cider*" (Mease.)
