This is a truly noble American fruit, produced by the Dutch settlers on the Hudson, near Esopus, and so termed from its unusual weight, this word in low Dutch, meaning heavy. It requires a deep, rich sandy loam, to bring it to perfection, and in its native soils, we have seen it twelve inches in circumference, and of a deep golden yellow color. It is one of the finest flavored apples in America, and deserves extensive cultivation in all favorable positions, though it does not succeed well in damp cold soils.--_Down. Fr. Amer._ 134. 869.
