Lady Finger

General Robinson says it is a handsome looking
Apple, good for eating in the Fall, but will not keep.
It is of the same color with the long pippin &
of the same shape, except that the small end
of the Lady finger is rather more pointed. He
says they are so much alike in appearance
that it is difficult to distinguish them
vid. Gen Robinson letter January 19, 1810
