From Wm. G. Waring, Boalsburg, Center County

A box of fruit containing specimens of fifteen varieties, three of pears, four of apples, and eight of plums.

Mr. Waxing informs us that this native red apple "originated on the farm of the Hon. George Boal, of Boalsburg. The original tree, which is now dead, stood over a cavern into which a stream emptied: hence the name. It was famous for its constant and abundant yield of fruit, which was in great demand for cooking, and continued in use from July to October." Specimens, when received, were entirely decayed.
