Spice Apple (Virginia) Col. Mayo.

National Intelligencer, Octo 1810 - describes it as a
fine cider fruit mixed with the Gloucester White
making the strongest cider.

Col. Mayo writes it is of a greenish color
of the size of the Gloucester White, of a very
aromatic flavor, a desirable table fruit, but too
early for Cider.

Nov 26. 1810 
Eat an apple supposed to be the Spice, a greenish yellow with rough
points, flesh juicy tender & pleasant, of an oblong forma nd midling size.

By mistake none of this kind came to me
they were the Gloucester White
