A P P L E S. 

 No. I. Tnickat-efg is a frnv)!! yellow Apple, of a red- 

 dilh hue where expored to the fun: it is in Ihape not un- 

 like a Grey Leadington ; its pulp is tender and juicy, its 

 fmell is chearing, and its tafte pleafant, when planted oiJ 

 a north wr.ll. The fruit will continue on the trie till 

 the month of OSober ; and the longer they hang on the 

 tree, their fmtll and talk beconne better. This fruit, 

 when produced in the open air, is couimonly ripe in the 

 beginning of Ju-ii/. The tree produces fmall regular 

 branches and makes a good appearance in every fliape; 

 it is aifo a great bearer. — There is alfo a VVinter-Apple 

 which exaRly refemhles ti e above, and is generally cal- 

 led by the name of the IVititc Tevchategg. hi iub- 

 flance is tender, juicy, and fweet. It was ripe the be- 

 ginning of Af«rr^, 1763. The tree grows vigoroufly, 

 and bears well. 



No. 2. King- Apple has little to boafl: of as to its co- 

 lour ; but it is pretty large, and of a good tafte for the 

 feafon. 



No. 3. Magdalene-Apple is a fair and beautiful fruit. 

 Its colour is yellow, and ftriped with red : the flefh is 

 free and juicy, of a pleafant fmcll, and delicious tafl:e. 

 The trees of the two preceding kinds much refemble one 

 another; that is, the wood-branches of both are Itrong, 

 thev grow vigorouily, neither are they bad bearers. 



No. 4. and 5. Summer Cahilles (Malus fru6lu magna , 

 dilute rubcnte, et inodoro. To URN. Cahilles d'EJle^ 

 Quint.) are of two kinds; the one of a white colour, 

 the other of a red. They are both of them large long 

 fruit, fhaped alike, and flattened at each end. The flefh 

 of the red is not coloured, as in the Autumn Calville. 

 Both of them are very beautiful, and the tafte of their 

 fubdapce is pleafant and agreeable. The trees are rather 

 delicate, and apt to fufFer from the colds in ipring that fo 

 frequently happen in Scotland. They are tolerably good 

 bearers. 



No. 6. Van Pippin is a round and fmall Apple, finely 

 coloured with red and yellow. Its pulp is free, juicy, 

 fweet, and agreeable. The wood of the tree is weak, 

 its branches are regularly placed, fo that its figure i.s 

 beautiiul. It is hardv, and bears well.
