Tewksbury (Winter) Blush or Everlasting

This apple is very valuable for its beauty and keeping.
It is a very handsome fruit, of less than the 
middling size. In August 1807, half a dozen were
sent to me by Mr Ogden of New Germantown, Hunterdon
County, Tewksbury Township, the proprietor of the tree
which apples he assured me were kept over without
any particular care or attention.  The color is a yellowish
white with a deep and beautiful blush.

Feby [February] 1808. Judge Morris informed me he has now an
apple in good preservation of the above parcel sent in
August last.

The skin remarkably smooth, the flesh white juicy and breaking
without any remarkable  degree of flavor - but of a very pleasant
taste and more sprightly than the Spring late keeping apples generally
are.  The form is almost round, the stalk short, without any tendency
to shriveling
