Remarks. 



A splendid apple ; of medium size 

 and delicious flavour. The tree is 

 not a strong grower, and should 

 be given a good soil. The fruit 

 is in season from November to 

 March ; bears well as a pyramid. 



A pretty apple, somewhat resembling 

 King of the Pippins in shape ; of 

 excellent flavour, and ready for 

 use during December. The tree 

 grows and bears well. 



A very good dessert apple, richly 

 flavoured, medium size. It does 

 well as a bush, and is most valuable 

 as an orchard standard. In season 

 from November to March. 



This is the " Wise Apple," so called 

 from its flowering so late that the 

 blossoms, as a rule, escape the 

 spring frosts. It is a rather flat 

 fruit, with firm flesh; a good keeper. 

 As an orchard standard or pyramid 

 it thrives and bears well. Keeps 

 in good condition from December 

 to March, or later. 



An excellent late variety ; somewhat 

 small, richly flavoured ; it bears re- 

 markably well as a pyramid. 



A valuable late apple, one that re- 

 tains its rich flavour well. It is 

 of medium size, prettily coloured ; 

 suitable for pyramid. In use from 

 December to March, or later. 



An old variety, but yet a valuable 

 late apple, of very good flavour;
