141. GLORY OF THE WEST.— Diel. 



InENTiFiCATioN. — Diel Kemobst. xii. 83. 



Fruit, large, three inches and a quarter broad, and two inches and 

 three quarters high ; oblate, ridged and angular about the eye, and 

 ribbed on the sides. Skin, smooth and shining, yellow, mixed in some 

 parts with a tinge of green, and washed with thin clear red on the side 

 next the sun ; the whole surface is strewed with minute russety dots, 

 and several large dark spots, such as are often met with on the Haw- 

 thornden. Eye, large, with long segments, and set in an angular basin. 

 Stalk, three quarters of an inch long, inserted in a deep cavity, which is 

 surrounded with a large patch of rough grey russet. Flesh, yellowish- 

 white, firm but tender, very juicy, with a pleasant, brisk, and slightly 

 perfumed flavor. 



A culinary apple of first quality ; it is in use the end of October and 

 continues till Christmas. 



The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, attaining a great size, 

 and is an excellent bearer. 



I had this variety from Mr. James Lake, of Bridgewater, and it is 

 evidently identical with the Glory of the West of Diel, a name which, 

 according to Lindley, is sometimes applied to the Dutch Codlin. The 

 variety here described bears a considerable resemblance to that known 

 by the name of Turk's Cap.

 the sun. Eye, small and closed, set in a narrow, shallow, and plaited 

 basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a very shallow cavity. Flesh, greenish- 

 white, tender, juicy, sugary, and brisk.
