Bar-apple
[sketch of apple]

large, fair apple, slightly twinged with red, next
[illegible] sun.  It is white and juicy substance; of sweet
and agreeable flavour.  Is fit for the table early
in the fall, and keeps well through the winter.  The
orgiinal tree, which has not yet attained to
its full size, grows by a pair of bars (from
which circumstance it gets its name) near Mendham
in Morris County, N. Jery.[New Jersey]
