NEWER DESSERT APPLES 31 



Bismarck. Fruits green, flushed with crimson, and 

 possessing a sharp flavour. The tree is a great bearer. 

 December. 



Edward VII. Growth free. A fine late cooking Apple. 

 (January.) 



Annie Elizabeth. Growth, upright. An improved Well- 

 ington, keeping good till March. 



Alfriston. Habit of growth, compact. A fine old green 

 variety, keeping till May. 



Although it is necessary to limit the select Apples 

 to a few varieties for villa gardens or private use, there 

 are some fifty excellent sorts. For example, the old 

 Ribston Pippin is only omitted because the tree is so 

 apt to canker.
