76 THE BOOK OF THE APPLE 



Mrs Phillimore, Winter Quarrenden, Rivers' Early 

 Peach. 



Allington Pippin and Royal Late Cooking have 

 already been described. 



Langley Pippin (Veitch) is the result of a cross 

 between Cox's Orange Pippin and Mr Gladstone. A 

 valuable dessert apple, of medium size, and a pleasant 

 crisp flavour. 



Early Victoria (Cross of Wisbech) is said by the 

 raiser to be obtained from Lord Grosvenor and Keswick 

 Codlin, and to be suitable for either dessert or cooking. 

 This variety is remarkably prolific and early, a good 

 grower also. 



Mr Leopold de Rothschild was raised by Messrs 

 Veitch (Chelsea) between Cox's Orange Pippin and 

 John Downie Crab. The fruits are very beautiful, and 

 are borne in profusion, of medium size, with a sub-acid 

 flavour. 



Mrs Phillimore is an introduction of Mr Bunyard's, 

 who says of it that it is a rich dessert apple for 

 November. 



Winter Quarrenden (Pearson) is a splendid new 

 dessert fruit. Of medium size, well coloured, of good 

 flavour, and abundantly produced. In season during 

 November and December. 



Rivers' Early Peach is very similar to Irish Peach, 

 but Messrs Rivers, the raisers, describe it as ripening 

 earlier, and not bearing the fruit on the ends of the 

 branches. The tree makes a pretty pyramid, and is an 

 abundant bearer. 



PROPAGATION 



It is not proposed to enter into elaborate details with 

 reference to the propagation of the apple, for the general 

 cultivator is far more concerned with and interested in 

 its successful treatment when established than before,
