THE APPLE.
There is no fruit, in temperate climates, so universally esteemed,
and so extensively cultivated, nor is there any which is so closely
identified with the social habits of the human species as the apple.
Apart from the many domestic purposes to which it is applicable,
the facility of its cultivation, and its adaptation to almost every
latitude, have rendered it, in all ages, an object of special attention
and regard. There is no part of our island where one or other of its
numerous varieties is not cultivated, and few localities where the
finest cannot be brought to perfection.
