Mr. WurtNEY’s Account of a fingular Apple Tre. 387° 
ferent taftes were noticed ; but fince they were firít difcovered, 
which is about twenty years, there has “been conftantly d 
fame variety in the apples. 
- For the truth of what I have afferted, I can appeal to many 
perfons of diftinétion, and of nice taftes, who have travelled a 
great diftance to view the tree, and tafte the fruit ; but to invef- 
tigate the caufe of an effect fo much out of the common courfe 
of nature, muft, I think, be attended with difficulty. 'Theon- 
ly folution I can conceive is, that the corcu/a, or hearts of two 
feeds, the one from a four, the other from a fweetapple, might 
fo incorporate, in the ground, as to produce but one plant : or 
that farina, from bloffoms of thofe oppofite qualities, might 
pafs into, and impregnate the fame feed. If you thould think 
the account I have given you, of this fingular apple-tree, will” 
be acceptable to the American inp pleafe to communi- 
cate it. 
I am, &c.
