192 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



basket which contains over three pecks. Originated by 

 William Crawford, Esq., of Middletown. It there ripens 

 the 20th of September, and will ripen the last of Septem- 

 ber with us. 



49. *GOLDEN RARERIPE. 



Large, round, very beautiful, of a golden or orange 

 red color next the sun, yellow in the shade ; juice abun- 

 dant, sweet, and delicious. A new and splendid fruit, 

 which much resembles Crawford's Late Malacatune, and 

 ripens a week previous. This fruit was brought hither 

 from Monmouth Co., New Jersey. The tree is productive, 

 but not quite equal in productiveness to that extraordinary 

 variety. 



50. *HEATH. 



KENRICK'S HEATH. 



This noble variety was received from the late Gen. Heath, 

 of Roxbury, of revolutionary memory ; hence its name. 

 The tree is very vigorous, and extraordinarily productive, 

 and is probably a native. The fruit is very large, oblong, 

 and beautiful ; specimens have frequently been seen weigh- 

 ing half a pound ; pale yellowish green in the shade, but 

 beautiful deep crimson or violet next the sun ; unequally 

 divided by a slight suture, which terminates in a point; the 

 flesh is melting, juicy, rich, vinous, agreeably acid, and 

 good. A capital fruit. Middle of September. 



51. *LATE ROBINSON CRUSOE. 



Large, round ; white in the shade, pale red next the sun ; 

 very juicy and delicious. The tree bears very extraordi- 

 nary crops, ripening the 1st of October. This most ex- 

 cellent fruit I received of Colonel Carr. It was raised by 

 Dr. Coxe, of Philadelphia, from stones brought by Lieu- 

 tenant Coxe, of the United States navy, from the Island of 

 Juan Fernandez, in the Pacific Ocean ; hence its name. 



52. MORRISANIA POUND. 



HOFFMAN'S. 



The fruit is very large, round ; pale green in the shade, 

 red next the sun ; very juicy and delicious ; ripening late, 

 about the middle of October. Mr. Floy states that this 

 variety was received of Gouverneur Morris, of Morrisania, 

 near New York ; but it was originated by Martin Hoffman, 

 Esq. [Leaves G. Flowers S.]
