868. SWAAR. 



This is a truly noble American fruit, produced by the Dutch settlers on 

 the Hudson, near Esopus, and so termed from its unusual weight, this 

 word in low Dutch, meaning heavy. It requires a deep, rich sandy 

 loam, to bring it to perfection, and in its native soils, we have seen it 

 twelve inches in circumference, and of a deep golden yellow color. It 

 is one of the finest flavored apples in America, and deserves extensive 

 cultivation in all favorable positions, though it does not succeed well in 

 damp cold soils. — Down. Fr. Amer. 134.
