 Judge Buel, Albany, about 1832. Tree, of slender, slow growth • drooping 

 when in bearing state ; very healthy ; producing moderately, hut annually, 

 large, beautiful fruit on the rich Western soils, and fruit of medium size

 now much grown in Indiana and Illinois, as ^^Wine," from which it is quite

 over clear yellow, and with many spots or specks of brownish — sometimes

 if we except the short description made of it by Cole, and his notice of
