The Ladies’ Sweeting, we consider the finest winter sweet apple for the dessert, yet known or cultivated in this country (America.)

The fruit is large, roundish-ovate. Skin, very smooth, covered with red next the sun, but pale yellowish-green in the shade, with broken stripes of pale red. Flesh, greenish-white, exceeding tender, juicy, and crisp, with a delicious, sprightly, agreeably perfumed flavor. Keeps without shrivelling, or losing its flavor till May.--_Down. Fr.
