[sketch of apple]

Watsons Greening - called from Isaac Watson from whom I
procured it not knowing any other name for it.
The <s> Rhode Island Greening</s> is a pretty large apple
of a light yellow green color, smooth skin
very flat form.  Stalk short, and sunk in a deep
wide hollow.   The flesh is white juicy tender <s>and</s>
<s>pleasant</s>,   It is an early Winter apple but
does not possess much flavor or sprightliness
<s>as the Newton pippin</s>.  The trees handsomely formed
grows upright tall and vigorously.  On the whole I
do not think is worthy of attention.
