This excellent variety was introduced to notice by Gervase Coe. of Bury St. 

 Edmunds, who raised the Golden Drop Plum. It has been said that it is a very

COLE. Fruit, large, three inches and a quarter broad, and two 

 and a half high ; roundish, considerably flattened, almost oblate, and 

 angular on the sides. Skin, yellowish, almost entirely covered with 

 deep crimson, and slightly marked with russet. Eye, large and closed, 

 set in a wide and open basin. Stalk, long, covered with down, and 

 inserted in a close, narrow cavity, with a fleshy prominence on one 

 side of it. Flesh, white, firm, juicy, and sweet, with a rich, brisk, and 

 pleasant flavour. 



A first-rate early kitchen apple, and second-rate for the dessert. It 

 is in use during August and September, and will even keep as long as 

 Christmas if well preserved. 



The tree is hardy, vigorous, and a good bearer ; and on account 

 of the size of the fruit should be grown rather as a dwarf than a 

 standard.
