vity 1072. N.B. This is a very different 

 variety from the Loan's pearmahi of the 

 Kentish orchards, which is much larger, 

 more incHned to an oval shape, and 

 of a more dull red colour ; it is however 

 nearly green when grown under the shade 

 of the leaves. This variety keeps till 

 April, and is till that season a very useful 

 fruit, both for the desert and culinary 

 purposes, and is justly esteemed by the 

 growers of fruit in that county on ac- 

 count of its great tendency to bear fruit. 



The Orange Pippin. Is cultivated in 

 dil!er(}nt parts of the county of Here- 

 ford J but such is the confusion of names, 

 owning to the multiplicity of apples in cul- 

 tivation, that the fruit figured is very dif- 

 ferent from the orange pippin of the 

 county of Kent, and has all the appear- 

 ance of the Royal pearmain of that county. 

 The specific gravity of its juice is about 

 .1074. 



If I may judge from this variety, whicfe 

 is plentiful in Sussex, where it is a most 

 abundant bearer, it is a fruit of all others
