The Wallworth Apple. This is the name given to a 

 variety forwarded to us by Mr. J. Battey, of Keeseville, with 

 an outline of the fruit, and some account of its history. Mr. 

 Battey says that " it is a variety which has recently come to 

 notice here, and which I propose to call the Wallworth ; the 

 specimen sent is under size, and quite over ripe, and I do not 

 send it as a sample of the fruit, but to draw attention to it, 

 preparatory to a better acquaintance with it another season, 

 when I will send you good specimens, if procurable. I con- 

 sider it fully entitled to a place in a very select list. Enclosed 

 are two outlines, accurately taken from specimens furnished 

 me by Mr. Wallworth, of Plattsburg, in whose garden stands 

 the only tree of this variety I know of It is not a seedling 

 here, but was introduced from Rensselaer County, N. Y., 

 where it was called the Large Golden Pippin. It is reported 

 to have been introduced from New Jersey." 



We do not append the figure, as, from the uncertainty of 

 its origin, it may prove to be some already described kind. 

 Subsequently to receiving the above notice, Avith a single 

 specimen of the apple, which Mr. Battey alludes to, we re- 

 ceived the full description of the Bailey Spice ; and, on com- 

 paring our outline, as well as our description, with his, we 

 found them to agree so clearly m all respects, that we came 

 to the conclusion they must be one and the same fruit. Both 

 came from the same town, and both have been growing there 

 some time — the Bailey Spice more than fifty years. 



We annex our description in the same form as Mr. Bailey's, 

 for comparison :-—
