only from vigorous trees, and on 

 the Paradise Stock, canker has 

 been cured. 



Undoubtedly to those who prefer 

 a crisp flavour, one of the most 

 satisfactory of all dessert apples. 

 It is handsome, being a deep 

 golden yellow in colour, with a 

 firm crisp and juicy flesh. King 

 of the Pippins is a regular and 

 prolific bearer, and equally suited 

 for kitchen as for table use. Its 

 season is from late October or 

 early November to January. 



The season during which this variety 

 is at its best is from No- 

 vember to February ; it is of 

 very good flavour, has a hardy, 

 vigorous constitution, and bears 

 well. 



That there is no better apple grown 

 than this is universally admitted. 

 It is of the most delicious flavour. 

 This variety bears well either as 

 a bush, pyramid^ or orchard 

 standard ; if possible, however, a 

 warm rich soil should be found 

 for it, and then the fruits reach a 

 high excellence. 



An excellent apple, in season from 

 November to January. It is of 

 medium size and splendid flavour ; 

 a russety fruit; it is a prolific 

 variety, grown either as a pyramid 

 or standard.
