The fruits and fruit-trees of America; . d. Corerather large. Very good. November to February. American Golden E,usset. Golden Nose. The American Golden Russet is one of the most delicious and tender Bullocks Pearmain, ll THE APPLE. 77 Apples, its flesh resembling more in texture that of a buttery Pear thacthat of an ordinary Apple. It is widely cultivated at the West andin New England as the Grolden Russet, and though neither handsome norlarge, is still a universal favorite, from its great productiveness and-admirable flavor. The uncouth name of Coxe, jShee^^nose, is nearlyobsolete, except in New Jersey, and we therefore adopt the present one,to which it is well entitled.
