This handsome large apple is another index of the 

 source of population in a western county. It is a fav- 

 orite fruit with those who know it, either for market or 

 the kitchen, for which its size and form render it peculiarly 

 attractive. 



Tree very large and handsome, spreading and very open 

 head ; leaves small, curled, and mealy, making the foliage 

 appear rather meagre, and displaying the splendid fruit, 

 which is evenly distributed.
