known variety, is large, flat, green, acid, rich and 

 high-flavored ; tree of the largest size, a great bear- 

 er, and fruit always fair. A resident of Ontario coun- 

 ty, picked in 1843, from one tree, 40 bushels. Its 

 great and uniform productiveness, and free growth, 

 though the fruit is scarcely equal to some others in 

 flavor, render it the most extensively cultivated 

 market apple of Western New- York. 



Esopus Spitzenburgh. Fruit rather large, bright 

 red, round-oblong, acid, spicy, and unsurpassed in 

 richness of flavor. The tree a moderate grower, 

 but attains a large size, and bears well.* 



Swaar. Fruit often large, flattish, green, becom 

 ing rich yellow, slightly sub-acid, of an exceedingly 

 rich and agreeable flavor. Considered by many 

 excellent judges as the best of all winter apples. 

 A good bearer; fruit sometimes liable to become 

 scrubby. 



Baldwin. Large, nearly round, striped with red, 

 flesh fine, juicy, with a most agreeable sub-acid 

 flavor. This apple stands as one of the first among 

 the first, both in quality and great productiveness, 

 and is by way of pre-eminence, the apple of New 

 England. 



Jonathan. Introduced by Buel. Partaking of 

 the character of the Spitzenburgh, size medial, 

 nearly round, a handsome bright red, acid, and 

 very high flavored. An abundant bearer. 



* Said to be better in New-York than in New-England.
