 This apple was brought to my notice by Mr. 

 James H. Salisbury, of Cortland Co. It has 

 been cultivated for many years by Nathan Sa- 

 lisbury, Esq., his father, an intelligent fruit- 

 grower of that county, and has ever been es- 

 teemed as one of the best of apples. Having 

 tasted this apple on several occasions, I must concur in this opinion. It may be a well 

 known fruit, yet I have failed to discover a description in books which answers to its cha- 

 racters. The insertion of the stem is peculiar, and will lead at once to its recognition.

 yellow. On ripening, ornamented with a deep brown blush, interrupted by one or more
