126 CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT 



Note by the editor of the American Farmer. 

 "The apple here spoken of grew on the farm of Rob- 

 ert Smith, where, we are authorized to state, cuttings 

 maybe had for grafting-" 



7. Black afitle. u Ripe in November; a very deep 

 red. A much-admired fruit near Trenton, New Jer- 

 sey. Mr. Boudinot, of New Jersey, says, u there is 

 an apple lately discovered here, which is called by the 

 owner of the orchard, a black apple. It appears to be 

 a species between the Spitzenburgh and common 

 black apple." (Mease.) 



8. Brownite. In Mr.Riley's opinion,, this is excell- 

 ed by none for the table. It is ripe in September, and 

 keeps well. It was discovered by Rowson, an old 

 Swede, near Marcus Hook. 



9. Bow apple. Ripens in June and July ; equal 

 to any summer apple. It is juicy, tender, and mild; 

 of a light yellow colour. 



10. Be U flower. "A long yellow apple, of good 

 flavour, very large, and excellent for the table, and 

 for cooking. When fully ripe, which is in October, 

 the seeds may be heard to rattle, when shaken. 

 This beautiful apple will keep well through the win- 

 ter : and it is held in great estimation in the Phila- 

 delphia market." 



11. Bullocks pippin, or sheep^s snout. This is a na- 

 tive of New Jersey, and is sometimes called the long 

 torn. It is in high repute, in autumn and the first 

 part of winter, for its rich and sprightly juice, and is 

 much admired when baked. 



12. Campfald, or Newark sweeting, c. " Is a large 

 sweet fruit, of a pale red colour; ripens about the be- 

 ginning of October, and keeps well, if carefully pick- 

 ed. Being a rich fruit, it is necessary to mix the 

 Harrison apple with it in order to refine the cider 

 produced from it." 



13. Cat-head. "This is a very large, round apple.
