Lady's Sweet. 



Pommeroy. Lady's Sweeting. Eoa Ton. Ladies' Sweet. 



We consider this one of the finest winter sweet Apples for the des- 

 sert yet known or cultivated in this country. 



Its handsome appearance, delightful perfume, sprightly flavor, and 

 the long time which it remains in perfection, render it universally ad- 

 mired wherever it is known, and no garden should be without it. It is 

 a native of this neighborhood. The wood is not very strong, but it 

 grows thriftily, and bears very abundantly, making a round spreading 

 head. Young shoots reddish brown, downy. Buds small.
