100 FRUIT GARDEN COMPANION. 



proof from the different kinds finding their way to 

 market as a matter of profit, in various parts of the 

 State. Hence the Baldwin and Roxbury russet are 

 found in abundance in the Boston market in the fall, 

 and are an important article of exportation from that 

 port to South America and the West Indies, be- 

 sides furnishing the winter stock for every family in 

 its vicinity. These varieties flourish about fifty 

 miles parallel to the seaboard of Boston, when they 

 cease to be plentiful. Most likely both first origina- 

 ted from the primitive fruit in the neighborhood of 

 Boston. The New York Russet, Greening, &c, 

 bear the same testimony in growth and appearance 

 in the market ; the cider for which Newark, in the 

 Jerseys, is so famous, is made from two kinds of 

 cider apples, the Harrison and Campfield, which no 

 doubt are natives and congenial to the soil peculiar 

 to that part, as they flourish only to perfection about 

 thirty miles on the border and parallel with the river 

 Passaic. 



The same peculiarity also prevails with the differ- 

 ent kinds of apples in Great Britain ; for in the Lon- 

 don markets are to be seen the different kinds that 

 are the most productive in the different parts, as for 

 instance the old variety of Nonpareil, so celebrated 

 as a table fruit of the first order, is mostly grown in 

 the county of Kent *; as is the Loans Pearmain, the 

 Lemon Pippen, and many other kinds that are a 

 principal item in the markets. Now when these 

 kinds are grown in any other parts of England, they 

 do not give such yearly produce, and when trans- 

 planted hither, it is seldom seen that they give any 

 fruit ; and the trees do not flourish well, which is 

 simply owing to their being out of their natural cli-
