gravity of the juice, nevertheless, greatly exceeded that of any 

 other variety, being 1091 ; and it is therefore probable that 

 this Apple will afford a richer Cider than any other at present 

 known. 



The fruit becomes perfectly ripe about the middle of Oc- 

 tober ; but it will remain on the tree long after it is ripe, and 

 after the leaves which surround it, on the bearing branches, 

 have fallen. The drawing of this Apple was taken in the cold 

 and wet season of 1809; and it is in consequence shewn 

 rather below its usual size: in every other respect the repre- 

 sentation is admirably correct. The blossoms of the Siberian 

 Harvey appear to be extremely patient of cold; and the 

 variety will probably prove exuberantly productive of fruit: 

 but, as it blossoms early, it is better calculated for moderately 

 elevated situations, than for such as are low, and well sheltered.
