About a year ago our attention was called to this Apple, by our friend S. Worden, of Minetto, Oswego county, N. Y., and last autumn he sent us a box of specimens, from which we made the following description: Fruit - medium size, round, regular. Stalk - short, set in a deep cavity. Calyx - small, closed, in a deep, smooth basin. Skin - smooth, greenish-yellow, marbled with red and russet on the sunny side, running into broken stripes toward the shaded side. Flesh - crisp, juicy, tender, mild subacid, rich and excellent Season - late autumn and early winter.

We add the following account of this variety, by Hon. Chas. E. Clark, of Jefferson county, and commend this variety to the attention of orchardists in Northern New York:

"The seed of this Apple was brought from Connecticut, by the second wife of the late Wm. Huntington, Esq. The nursery was planted on his farm, and the young tree was removed from that nursery in or about the year 1807, to the orchard of the late James Wilson, in Rutland Hollow, where the original tree now stands. The tree is therefore about forty-five years old. It is of thrifty and vigorous growth, an early and great bearer, never failing to be loaded with fruit every year. Indeed, the symmetry and health of most of the trees propagated from this, is destroyed by the heavy and crushing loads of fruit they bear. The Apple ripens in October, and keeps well till the first of December, and during two months it is the very best Apple, exceeding in the estimation of the writer, the Porter, Spy, Swaar, Baldwin, Greening, or Spitzenburgh It averages three and a quarter inches in diameter from side to side, and two inches from stem to calyx. It is quite fair in its surface, and is exceedingly beautiful. At the blossom and stem ends the cavities are deep and well formed.

At the blossom end the color is russet, on a yellow ground, for a quarter of the distance to the stem on one side and three quarters of the distance on the other side; the remainder of the Apple is a rich scarlet, sometimes in stripes and sometimes in detached fragments or spots, showing a beautiful yellow streak between the spots, appearing as though the Apple was originally russet and that it had been painted over with scarlet, and that the growth of the Apple had broken this scarlet coloring and showed the original russet, and very frequently near the stem there is a spot of clear yellow of the size of a sixpence.

"In shape and color it is most beautiful, and in flavor it is unsurpassed. The skin is thin and tender; the flesh is exceedingly juicy, a gentle subacid taste, brisk and spicy, and the distinct flavor of the Quince. It is first rate for the table, for cooking, and for cider.

"Jefferson county has the honor pf giving birth to this tree: hence its name. It is found in many of the orchards in Rutland and Champion. It sells readily for half a dollar per bushel, while other good common sorts sell for eighteen cents".
