THE APPLE. 
Wagener. 
Origin, Penn Yan, Yates Co., N. Y. Tree, thrifty, upright ; 
requires thinning to produce good flavoured fruit; when grown 
in the shade, is wanting in flavour.

white, mostly shaded with crimson, obscurely striped, and 
sprinkled with light dots. Stalk nearly an inch long, rather 
slender, inserted in a large, broad, irregular cavity. Calyx small 
and closed, set in a rather abrupt somewhat corrugated basin. 
Flesh yellowish, very tender, juicy, with an excellent brisk 
vinous flavour. A very delicate apple. Ripe November to Fe- 
bruary. 
Westfield Seek-no-further. 
Connecticut Seek-no* further. 
Seek-no-further. 
The Westfield Seek-no-further is the Seek-no-further of Con- 
necticut, and is an old and highly esteemed variety of that dis 
trict. It has a pearmain flavour.

over a pale clouded green ground — the red sprinkled with ob- 
scure russety yellow dots. Stalk very slender, three-fourths of an 
inch long, inserted in an even cavity. Calyx closed, or with a 
few reflexed segments, and set in an even basin of moderate 
depth. Flesh white, fine grained, tender, with a rich, pearmain 
flavour. A first rate fruit. October to February. 
White Winter Pearmain. 
Origin unknown, by some thought to be an old eastern variety, 
highly esteemed at the west, for all purposes. Specimens sent us 
by Henry Avery, and others, were of the best quality. Tree 
spreading, hardy, and thrifty, a regular and good bearer. 
Fruit medium, or above, oblong, conic, somewhat oblique. 
Stalk shoH, inserted in a deep round cavity. Calyx nearly 
closed, segments long, basin uneven, surrounded by five pro- 
minences, which are continued in obscure angles along its 
sides. Skin pale yellow, with a slight ..blush or warm cheek, 
thickly sprinkled with minute brown dots. Flesh yellowish, 
tender, crisp, juicy, with a very pleasant subacid flavour. Ja- 
nuary to April. 
Winter Harvey in many respects is similar to the above, 
may prove so.
