APPENDIX. 



SINCE the manuscript of the foregoing pages was placed in hands 

 of the printer, there have been several new fruits introduced and 

 described, in the Horticultural Journals and Societies' Transactions ; 

 these we have thought best to add in an appendix. There have also 

 been some few omissions, consequent on the author not being at hand 

 to correct the proofs until they were stereotyped ; these also we 

 have thought best to insert here. 



APPLES.

 and Ohio, and succeeds equally as well as in its native locality.

 sub-acid ; core, small ; seeds, medium size, dark brown. Season,

 for cooking, for drying, and salable in market on account of its 

 handsome appearance.
