Morgan Apple

[sketch of apple]

This is a very pleasant Fall and early Winter
Apple and at the same time is a fine keeping
Apple.  The size is above midling, of an oblong
form diminishing in the smallest degree towards
the blossom end. The stalk is about and inch in length.
The flesh is of a pale yellow, of singular tenderness and
pleasant taste, with very little core.  The skin is
a greenish yellow color with a rough feel from numerous
little black points. The tree grows vigorously and
produces abundantly.  from its coming early and keeping
till May it is a very valuable and profitable fruit.
It takes its name from Benjamin Morgan Esq. of
Pensauken Gloucester County, by whom it was originally
cultivated.
