The Golden Harvey, or Brandy Apple. This variety is gene- 

 rally esteemed in Herefordshire the best fruit of its species, 

 and, I think, with reason. Its season commences in Novem- 

 ber, and it remains in perfection, with proper attention, till 

 May. It has long been cultivated in Herefordshire, and it 

 has consequently passed the period of youth and vigour ; 

 but it is still perfectly well calculated for garden culture. A 

 coloured plate of this variety is given in the Pomona Here- 

 fordiensis, with that of its offspring, the Siberian Harvey, to 

 which alone it is inferior in richness, and in the high specific 

 gravity of its juice. The Siberian Harvey is of little value 

 except for the press.
