OF JRUIT TREES. H>5 



r 2. American nonparid, or doctor apple, in Pennsyl- 

 vania. "Will keep from November to March. A 

 large red-striped apple, of excellent flavour, and very 

 juicy. It keeps tolerably well during winter. The 

 tree is subject to blast." 



3. Autumn, or Fall pippin. "Ripens in October. 

 A large yellow apple, acid taste, and pleasant flavour. 

 It is also a good kitchen apple. It usually weighs 

 nineteen ounces. Keeps well." 



4. AunCs apple. "This is a beautiful and large ap- 

 ple, of an oblong make, resembling the Priestly in 

 shape ; the skin smooth, streaked with a lively red, 

 on a yellow ground ; the flesh is yellow, breaking and 

 juicy 5 of an agreeable flavour, but not rich. It ripens 

 in November, and, from its handsome appearance, is a 

 valuable market fruit. The tree is small, the growth 

 delicate, and its fruitful ness great. It is extensively 

 cultivated in several of the eastern counties of Penn- 

 sylvania." (Coxe.) 



5. Baldwin apple* or Pecker apple ; is a very valua- 

 ble red apple, large and beautiful, fine flavoured, and 

 will keep till April. It is in high estimation in Mas- 

 sachusetts. 



6. Baltimore apple. In the transactions of the hor- 

 ticultural society of London, published in 1817, it is 

 stated, that a large apple, raised in the garden of Mr. 

 Smith, near the city of Baltimore, was exhibited ; it 

 had been recently imported by captain George Hob- 

 son, of Baltimore, who sent it to sir Joseph Banks, by 

 whom it was presented to the society. This apple, 

 of which an engraving accompanies this account, 

 weighed one pound seven and a half ounces; it meas- 

 ured in circumference one foot two inches and three 

 quarters, and in height as it stood, was four inches, it 

 proved very good, though over ripe ; it was very 

 close at the core, and, if a good beat-fir, will deserve 

 general cultivation. The drawing is coloured, and 

 very interesting.
