This very beautiful Apple grows on the
farm of Joseph Smith Esq. near Burlington.
It is of midling size, rather long than flat.
The skin smooth of a deep and bright Scarlet
with streaks of the same still darker, and little
yellow spot or points. The stalk short and delicate
inserted in a deep hollow as is the blossom end.
The flesh white[illegiblel] with yellow, crisp tender, juicy and pleasant.
Is a good table apple in September.
