Remarks. 



A handsome, well-flavoured fruit of 

 medium size ; does better as a bush 

 or pyramid than as a standard ; 

 is an abundant bearer. 



Indispensable to every collection ; of 

 a true conical form, fairly large, 

 brisk flavour, a good keeping 

 variety, thriving particularly well 

 as a pyramid, and in season from 

 December to February. 



This is a valuable apple, of medium 

 size, and sweet ; it bears well either 

 as a pyramid or standard, and is 

 practically indifferent as to the 

 nature of the soil. In use from 

 December to February, or later. 



A large apple, handsome, and suit- 

 able for either dessert or kitchen. 

 It is best grown as a bush on the 

 Paradise Stock ; root pruning is 

 recommended as an aid to fertility, 

 as Blenheim Orange is usually 

 rather shy of bearing until it 

 reaches a good age. 



A beautiful apple whose skin is 

 highly coloured, finely flavoured, 

 and an abundant bearer. It has 

 received the first-class certifi- 

 cate of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society. 



A distinct looking apple, making an 

 excellent standard. It is of good 

 flavour, and usually bears good 

 crops. In season from December 

 to February.
