Agriculture of New York: comprising an account of the classification, composition and distribution of the soils and rocks, and the natural waters of the different geological formations; together with a condensed view of the climate and the agricultural productions of the state. Agriculture; Natural history. 78 DESCRIPTIONS 78. STANNARD'S SEEDLING. Fruit of tlie nieiliiim size ; sulmngular, depressed, base broad, narrowing rapidly from near (lie middle to the apex, wliicli is narrow. Stem projecting from a wide depression ; calyx large, depression shallow. Color red, with a base only faintly striped on a green ground : dots sparsely distributed over a slightly russeted skin. Flesh white, tender, juicy; vinous and pleasant, l)ut not first rate. Calyx tube closed ; core small. Keeps well, and retains its juiciness when long exposed to the air. Class II. Fruit yellow, or yelloiv with an orange blush; green, or green with a brown blxish. Ordeu I. Height and breadth equal or siibequal. A. Ends equal or subequal. 79. SALISBURY WINTER. Fig. §2. Fruit nearly of the medium size ; circular, or subcircular; oval ; symmetrical ; ends sub- equal. Color yellow, ornamental color, or- ange but faint. Stem short, slender, insert- ed near the base, the depression being very shallow. Calyx of the medium size, nar- row, but deeper than the basal depression. Flesh tender, yellowish, juicy, subacid, and very pleasant; equals the Swaar. This apple was brought to my notice by Mr. James H. Salisbury, of Cortland Co. It has been cultivated for many years by Nathan Sa- lisbury, Esq., his father, an intelligent fruit- grower of that county, and has ever been es- teemed as one of the best of apples. Having tasted this apple on several occasions, I must concur in this opinion. It may be a well known fruit, yet I have failed to discover a description in books which answers to its cha- racters. The insertion of the stem is peculiar, and will lead at once to its recognition. 80. WARREN PIPPIN. Pl
