[sketch of apple]

The Roseau d'Automne is an Apple of
about midling size. Red skin intermingled
with a large portion of rich deep yellow,
with entire russet about the stem, which is
sunk in a deep cavity, and is very short.  The
flesh is rich, juicy, yellow tender and highly
flavored. very firm and contains a great deal
of what is vulgarly call fever & ague, that is a
transparency of flesh which is always attended
with great solidity and weight. The timeof
ripening is September; the <s>large</s> tree is large of
vigorous growth and spreads much, I 
imported it from England.
