 ber till August. This is one of our most valuable kitchen apples, and possesses the 

 properties of being a great bearer, excellent keeper, and good baker or boiler. Is 

 much esteemed in Norfolk, and is there dressed in a peculiar manner. Tree suf- 

 ficiently hardy to stand in any part of the kingdom, and not subject to diseases. 

 Of all our keeping apples, none better merits a place in small gardens than this.

 December till May ; an esteemed apple. Tree rather slender, and only a middling 

 bearer.

 low generally ; but, when fully exposed to the sun, of a reddish cast ; ripens in 

 January, and keeps till May. Tree vigorous, grows to a great size, and is an 

 abund mt bearer. 



191. Baltimore. — Of American origin. Fruit very large, often fourteen or 

 fifteen inches in circumference, and has been known to weigh above one pound and 

 a half; color fine red and green ; a magnificent fruit, but, like most American 

 apples, an indifferent bearer in this country ; with us the climate is not suitable to 

 bring them to perfection. To use the words of a valued correspondent, it would be 

 better not to plant any of the trees, and import the fruit. This observation may be 

 iustly applied to nine-tenths of the apples and pears, in particular, lately introduced: 

 a few of them may be planted ; but where the supply of a family or the market is 

 an object, they cannot be depended upon ; one-half of them will not bear fruit in 

 this climate, aeid the other half will only be eatable one season in five. 



195. CocKAGEE. — Fruit middle-sized ; colour red and yellow ; ripens in October, 

 and will only keep till the middle or end of December. Tree of vigorous growth, 

 and a great bearer.
