 apple, red towards the sun, and of a greenish 

 colour on the other side. It is a good apple, 

 and keeps till March. 



The Orange Pippin, which is about the size 

 of a large Golden Pippin ; of a beautiful gold 

 colour, with a little pale-red towards the sun. 

 It is a handsome apple, of a good flavour, and 

 makes a fine appearance at table, being in eating 

 in October, and keeps till March, but gets flat 

 in the taste when too long kept. 



The Orleans Pippin, which is a small flat- 

 shaped apple, of a dark red colour ; resembling 

 the Orleans Plum. 



The Paradise Pippin, which is a handsome 

 middle-sized apple, of a reddish cast. It comes 

 into eating in October, but will not keep. It 

 grows mealy when too ripe. 



The Pauson, which is below the middle size, 

 of a conical shape, and of a greenish yellow or 

 light green colour. It is ripe in January. 



The Pile's Russet, which is a middle-sized 

 longish-shaped apple, russet about the foot- 

 stalk, yellow towards the middle, and of a 

 brownish red about the eve. It is a very firm 

 fruit, of a sharp acid flavour, being much

 about the size of a large Golden Pippin, of a yel- 

 lowish colour, and the form a little flat. In 

 Devonshire, according to Mr. Forsyth, they 

 put these Pippins into the oven just after the 

 bread is drawn, laying a weight over them to 

 flatten them, in the same manner as they do the 

 Beefin in Norfolk, and bring them to table as 

 a sweetmeat. It is a very good dessert apple,

 from Canada, of a flattish form, and russet co- 

 lour, streaked beautifully with red. It ripens

 eating apple. 



The Pomme d'Api, which is much valued for 

 its colour, being of a bright red. The tree is a 

 good bearer, and the fruit is not subject to be 

 shaken with high winds. The fruit should be 

 suffered to hang on the tree till October or No- 

 vember, if the frost do not set in. It comes into 

 eating in February and March, and keeps long ; 

 but is more admired for its beauty than its flavour 

 or fineness of taste. 



The Pontine Violette, the Violet Apple, which 



is a pretty large fruit, of a pale-green, striped 

 with red towards the sun. It has a sugary juice, 

 and a flavour of violets, from which it takes its 

 name. It ripens in October, and continues in 

 eating till February or later. 



The Pomroy, or King's Apple, which ripens 

 nearly as soon as theJuneting; and, though 

 not so beautifully covered, is larger and much 

 better tasted. It has a sub-variety, which is a 

 winter apple.

 apple of a greenish colour; and is good for

 ter end of April.

 times inclining to red on the side next the sun. 

 It is a fine flavoured apple, verv tit for the ta- 

 ble, coming into eating in January, and keep- 

 ing till May ; but is apt to grow mealy when 

 kept too long. Mr. Forsyth says, " the tree 

 never grows to the height of other apple-trees."
