[sketch of apple]

The Jersey or as it is here called the Burlington large
Greening, or Rhode Island Greening is a very large apple of a green color inching
as it ripens to a yellow.  The skin is totally smooth
with some black spots and blotched with small dots
of red like the Newton Yellow Pippin.  The Flesh is rich
tender juicy and yellow, and it is a very fine table
fruit from the beginning of November till Mid winter.
The tree grows large and vigorously, with strong
thick limbs and large leaves.
