 roundish, flattened at the base, narrowing considerably to the 

 eye. Flesh., tender, and very fine. Mrs. Smith informed me

 Mr. Wm. Botts in this Township. Fruit., above medium 

 size : ^kin., yellow, striped with red : It presents a rich and 

 beautiful appearance : Form., oblong : Flesh., juicy and tender,

 is good in the fall, and will keep till about the middle of winter.

 son, I will try and let you see the apples. R. Seevers.
