THE CLARK. APPLE. 



As our market is frequently largely supplied 

 with western apples, many of which are grown 

 in the central and western counties of New 

 York, we have thought tLat some of our read- 

 ers might like to see an illustration and de- 

 scription of one of the local fruits of that sec- 

 tion. We therefore copy from the Rural New 

 Yorker the annexed cuts of a seedling apple 

 from Ontario County. It originated on the 



farm of J. W. Clark, Esq., of the town of Na- 

 ples, N. Y. 



It is described as a strong, vigorous grower, 

 forming a broad, open, spreading top. Young 

 wood dark red brown, quite downy or moldy. 

 Leaf thick, broad, roundish, slightly oval, 

 pointed, coarsely serrated. Fruit medium, or 

 above, in size, globular, slightly oblate in some 

 specimens. Color a rich pale yellow ground.
