Pecker, 1 Late Baldwin, > of some American Collections. Steeles Red Winter, } The Baldwm is the most populai apple of NewEngland, and is cultivated to a much gi-eater ex-tent than any other variety. Several laige andfine orchards are to be found in the vicinity ofBoston, some of which produce about one thou-sand barrels of fruit every bearing year. For ex-portation, it is much sought after; and the lai-genumber of fifteen hundied barrels have been sentto the East Indies in one season. Consideringthe hardiness, vigor, productiveness, and adapta-tion to all soils, of the Baldwin, and its size,beauty, long keeping and superior flavor, it must be ranked among theveiy finest apples which this country has yet produced. The Baldwin originated in the town of Wilmington, in Middlesex Coun-ty, about a century ago; and the most correct account of it we have everread, appeared in the Magazine of Horticulture for 1835, (vol. i.)
