PLATE XXXIX. 
1. GOLDEN BURR, or BURR KNOT. 
So named from knots or joints on the shoots, which render it easy to be grown by 
cuttings. It is a large apple, of globular form, smooth glossy surface, yellow, with 
a flush of faint red: this is a very useful kitchen fruit in November and December, 
and a profuse hearer. The tree grows in a close compact form, and seldom cankers. 
2. AMERICAN FALL. 
(A variety of the Newtown Pippin, as introduced to the Horticultural Society in 1819.) 
It is a large oval apple, both eye and stalk a good deal sunk, of a pea-green colour, 
with only a slight tinge of faint red on the exposed side. The fruit is very compact, 
and makes excellent sauce. 
The tree is of robust growth, and bears well; but like most of the American 
apples, is rather apt to canker in this country.
