By Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq. 549 



When I had last the pleasure to see you here, you thought 

 the trees ornamental, when loaded with fruit ; and at your 

 desire I sent to the garden a plant of it under the name of 

 the Siberian Bittersweet. It produces its leaves and blossoms 

 rather early in the spring ; and it will consequently be found 

 to succeed best in somewhat elevated situations. It derived 

 its origin from a seed of the Golden Harvey Apple, and 

 pollen of the Yellow Siberian Crab. 



I remain, my dear Sir, 

 sincerely yours, 

 Thomas Andrew Knight. 



Downton, September 16, 1826. 



Note by tlie Secretary. 

 The Siberian Bittersweet above described, became en- 

 titled, in the present year, to the prize annually given by the 

 Herefordshire Agricultural Society, for the best new variety 

 of Cider Apple.
