falls from the tree if sound ; it is in eating from October t& 

 January, and the tree produces well. It is esteemed more 

 particularly as a fine sauce apple. 



Kiresskoi. An apple by the above name is mentioned 

 in Morse's Geography as being cultivated in Russia, and 

 weighing 4 IDS, I have made many attempts to ascertain if 

 a fruit of this name and description existed there, but as yet 

 without a satisfactory result. I am inclined to think the 

 apple referred to is the same as the " Menagere," which has 

 been sent to me as the largest of all apples known in the 

 north of Europe. To what weight this fruit has attained I 

 am not fully apprized; but as, our native apple, the New- 

 York Gloria Mundi, or Monstrous Pippin, sometimes called 

 Ox Apple, has been publicly exhibited weighing 35 oz., 

 which is about 3 Ibs. Troy weight, it may be possible that an 

 apple exists which, in extreme cases, may weigh 48 oz., or 

 4 Ibs. Troy, and thus verify the statement of Mr. Morse, 

 who doubtless quoted his information from some European 

 author, whose publication has not met my eye. 



129. Menagere. Of this apple I have received no other 

 information than that previously referred to, which is from a 

 gentleman residing on the border of the Rhine, whose opi- 

 nions and statements I consider as the highest authority. He 

 mentions, as I have already remarked, that it is the largest 

 apple known in the north of Europe. 



149. Transparent Moscow. This apple, which is be- 

 yond doubt the same that Mr. Movse has mentioned under 

 ihe title of "Nalivui," I have succeeded in introducing, and 

 have already increased it, and disseminated it throughout our 

 country. It is said to have been originally from China, 

 whence it was introduced to Moscow, and to be most re- 

 markable for its beauty and transparency. In fact, its claims 

 on these points seem to be generally conceded ; and, there- 

 fore, although its introduction has been so recent, that I have 

 not yet seen its fruit, still I doubt not but all that is antici- 

 pated from it will be fully realized. There are several other 

 apples celebrated for their transparency, viz. Transparent 

 Zuric, Transparent Codlin, and the Transparent, or De 

 Glace. 



2. Sinequanon, This title I gave myself to the most 

 pleasant flavoured early apple I have ever seen, perhaps not 

 excepting the " Yellow Harvest ;" from the belief that those 

 who become familiar with it, will deem it an indispensable 

 appendage to their orchards, It is nearly green when full
