BLACK APPLE of COXC ? 



This admirable but unpretending fruit has extended its 

 way quietly through the country, along the parallels 40 

 to 42, without ever having had any extra puffing, such 

 as has given notoriety to some of its competitors for places 

 in the orchard. Nobody speaks about this apple, nor 

 writes about it, and yet it is everywhere to be found. This 

 cannot be the .Black Apple of Coxe and Downing, being 

 quite different in some of its strong characters. Origin 

 unknown , supposed to have been introduced into the West 

 by Silas Wharton, of Warren County, Ohio, as it is found 

 with the White Pippin and other favorite sorts of his in- 

 troduction, and is in his published list. 



Tree sufficiently vigorous, but does not grow large, 

 spreading, often drooping when old, branches open, always 

 fruitful, either well distributed in a light crop, or crowded 

 in a full one.
