Curliss's Sweet

[sketch of apple]

This is a large fair Apple rather long in shape, &
when ripe of a yellow color with a faint blush a few small grey
specks.  The stalk is short and not large sunk in a deep
cavity, as is the Eye.  The flesh is white sweet and rather
coarse.  The tree is remarkably thrifty, round full head,
the foliage of an uncommonly dark rich green.  The fruit
ripens in September and October but keeps well for later
Cider, for which it is celebrated in some parts of our
Eastern Counties.  It is generally where known considered
as a good bearer and profitable fruit.  I procured
the trees from Middlesex New Jersey.
