Campfield Apple --

A very fine Cider fruit celebrated with the Harrison for producing the
finest Cider in the vicinity of Newark either alone or
mixed with the Harrison in equal proportions.
The fruit is of a red color with small and [illegible] yellow dots of a greenish
yellow on the shady side of a very sweet & pleasant
taste with the firmest and closest
grained white flesh.  It is suited for late Cider
made in November and keeps well.
A barrel will produce 14 quarts of proof distilled
Spirits.   It takes 10 Bushels of fruit for a barrel casked,
Sells to the Dealers at 40 Cts p [cents per] Bushel for making
cider.  Tree handsome and vigorous, the shape of
the fruit is flat and above the middle size.  The tree
grows upright with long and straight Branches
the wood hard and wiry. Mr Amos Harrison says
it is the most profitable apple raised in Essex Cy. [County]
The size of the fruit is midling, round, and flattened at the ends.
Skin is smooth, foot stalk and blossom end both sunk in a 
hollow.  Price of the cider one dollar p bbl [per barrel] less than the Harrison
Cider.  Mr A Harrison tells me the cider is clear, but not so high
colored as the Harrison.
