Miner's Apple, was then changed to Pow- ers, in honor of the pomologist who had brought it into notice. The tree appears to have been an accidental seedling, which sprang up in the town of Perrysburgh, where it grew almost without care until it fruited a few years ago, and attracted the attention of Mr. Powers. The fruit is large and fair, round, somewhat flattened, and sometimes rather conic, generally regular, but large.
