DANVERS WINTER SWEET. 

 Epse's Sweet. 



Origin, Massachusetts, in the town of Danvers, from which this variety 

 takes its name, it has been for a long time one of the best market 

 apples, but we think it inferior to the Ladies' Sweeting. It is an 

 abundant bearer, and a very rapid tree in its growth. Young shoots 

 dark grayish brown, slightly downy. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish oblong. Skin smooth, dull yellow, 

 with an orange blush. Stalk slender, inclining to one side. Calyx set 

 in a smooth, narrow basin. Flesh yellow, firm, sweet, and rich. Very 

 good. It bakes well, and is fit for use the whole winter, and often till 

 April. 



DAPPER. 



From Georgia. 



Fruit small, roundish, truncate, yellow, with crimson specks. (Pa. 

 Rep.)
