Wetherills White Sweeting

This apple which has derived its name
from a farmer near the town of Burlington
is a large fair white or very pale yellow
fruit, 
the flesh white, a short stalk in a deep hollow
very pleasant to the taste, juicy
& tender,  the apples hang till about the
beginning or middle of September
when they make excellent cider.  The
flesh is sweet enough to make good
food for hogs.  The trees are handsome and
vigorous and thrive particularly well in
sandy soils.
