BREEDON PIPPIN. Fruit, small, two inches and a half wide, and 

 two inches and a quarter high ; roundish, and somewhat oblate, broader 

 at the base than the apex, where it assumes somewhat of a four-sided 

 shape. Skin, deep dull yellow tinged with reddish orange; inclining 

 to red on the side exposed to the sun, and marked with a few traces of 

 delicate brown russet. Eye, open, with short ovate reflexed segments, 

 which are frequently four in number, set in a broad, shallow, and 

 plaited basin. Stalk, half an inch to three-quarters long, inserted in a 

 round and shallow cavity. Flesh, yellowish, firm, and with a rich, 

 vinous, and brisk flavour, resembling that of a pine-apple. 



This is one of the best dessert apples ; and is in use during October 

 and November. It bears some resemblance to the Court of Wick, 

 but is considerably richer in flavour than that variety. The tree is 

 hardy, a slender grower, and does not attain a large size ; it is, how- 

 ever, an excellent bearer. It is well adapted for dwarf training, and 

 succeeds well on the paradise stock. 



This i-stfi-nio'l variety \\ ;1 s raised by the Rev. Dr. Symonds Breedon, at Berc 

 Court, nciir I'ungbourne, Berkshire.
