A Rochester correspondent says : "L. T. Sanders, Collinsburg, Louisiana, requested me to mail you an apple, which I have done to-day; no doubt he has written you about it".

[We have not heard from the party referred to. We see no difference between it and the green Newtown Pippin as grown North, except that it was earlier. It was in excellent eating condition October 1st. Supposing it to have been grown in Louisiana, we should call it an excellent specimen, though the little fungus that gives it the black dotted appearance, indicates that here, as elsewhere, the tree is not thoroughly healthy. Only for this disposition to unhealthiness the Newtown Pippin would be king of apples. - Ed. G. M]

Since the above was written a letter from Mr. L. T. Sanders, Collinsburg, Louisiana, who calls it the " Yellow Forest apple," and says it was found growing in the woods by Captain Winston, and by him transplanted to his orchard, and is now about fifteen years old. It is possible there may be some difference from the Newtown Pippin that we do not recognize in the single specimen before us.
