AEW WINTER APPLE. 



As Cliairnian of the Committee on New AVinter Apples, I 

 will state that some apples were exhibited, which were claim- 

 ed to be Seedlings, equal to or better than the Baldwin or 

 Roxbury Russet. The apple at present is very high toned, 

 hard flesh and tough skin ; but Mr. Conant, of Ipswich, the 

 exhibitor, states that as the apple ripens it becomes pleasant, 

 sprightly and tender, keeping well until May, retaining all its 

 good qualities. As none of the Committee but myself were 

 there, no decision was made. 



I will say that my opinion is favorable towards the apple, 

 and would recommend that it be tlioroughly examined another 

 year, 



Peter ^^'ait, for tlic CommUtce.
