New York, a neighbourhood unsurpassed in the world for its 
great natural congeniality to the apple. It was first described 
by the late Judge Buel, and named by him, in compliment to

Fruit of medium size, regularly formed, roundish-ovate, or

Calyx set in a deep, rather broad basin. Flesh white, rarely a
