‘New York, a neighbourhood unsurpassed in the world for its 
great natural congeniality to the apple. It was first described" 
by the late Judge Buel, and named by him, in compliment to 
Jonathan Hasbrouck, Esq. of the same place, who made known 
the fruit to him. The colour of the young wood is a lively light 
brown, and the budsat the ends of the shoots are large. Growth 
rather slender, slightly pendulous. ; 
Fruit of medium size, regularly formed, roundish-ovate, or 
tapering to the eye. Skin thin and smooth, the ground clear 
light yellow, nearly covered by lively red stripes, and deepening 
into brilliant or dark red in the sun. Stalk three-fourths of an 
inch long, rather slender, inserted in a deep, regular cavity. 
Calyx set in a deep, rather broad basin. Flesh white, rarely a 
little pinkish, very tender and juicy, with a mild sprightly fla- 
vour. This fruit, evidently, belongs to the Spitzenburgh class.
