APPLES. 87 



patch of rougli grey russet. Flesh, yellowish white, firm but tender, 

 very juicy, with a pleasant, hrisk, and slightly perfumed flavour. 



A culinary apple of first quality ; it is in use the end of October and 

 continues till Christmas. The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, 

 attaining a great size, and is an excellent bearer. 



I had this from the late Mr. James Lake, of Bridgewater. It is evidently 

 identical with the Glory of the West of Diel, a name which, according to Lindley, 

 is sometimes applied to the Dutch Codlin. The variety here described bears" u 

 considerable lesemblance to that known by the name of Turk's Cap.

GLOUCESTER QUOINIXG. Fruit, large, three inches wide, and 

 two inches and a half high ; round, bluntly angular, undulating at the 

 apex. Skin, dull brownish red next the sun, and streaked with short 

 broken streaks of dark crimson and green, or yellowish green, on the 

 shaded side ; the surface covered with patches of thin grey russet. 

 Eye, closed, with connivent segments, set in a rather deep and angular 

 basin. Stamens, basal ; tube, conical, sometimes inclining to funnel- 

 shaped. Stalk, slender, inserted all its length in the narrow, deep 

 cavity, which is green and lined with russet. Flesh, white, tender, 

 juicy, and pleasantly sub-acid. Cells, roundish obovate ; axile, open. 



A handsome kitchen apple from Gloucestershire, which I met with at 

 the Pomological Meeting at Hereford. It keeps till January. 



GLOUCESTERSHIRE COSTARD. Fruit, very large, three inches 

 wide, and three iiii-hes and a half high ; conical or somewhat cylindrical, 

 prominently ribbed, and with ridges round the eye ; it is longer conical 

 than the Herefordshire Costard. Skin, almost entirely covered with 

 crimson streaks, mottled with the yellow ground colour which shows 

 between the streaks ; on the side which is shaded there is less crimson, 

 but more of the rich deep yellow ; the surface is strewed with minute 

 dots. Eye, closed, with long segments, set in a narrow, pretty deep, 

 and plaited basin. Stamens, basal ; tube, conical. Stalk, half an inch 

 long, stout, and deeply set in an irregular furrowed basin. Flesh, 

 yellow, tender, sweet, and of good flavour. Cells, large, open, but not 

 wide open like the Codlins, as might be expected from the appearance 

 of the fruit ; elliptical ; axile. 



This is a very handsome apple, of good flavour ; but more adapted 

 for cooking than the dessert. It keeps well till January. 



It came to me from Mr. Vyner Ellis, of Minsterworth, near Gloucester, through 

 Dr. Henry Bull, of Hereford. 



Goff. See Orange Goff. 



GOGAR PIPPIN (Stone Pippin). Fruit, medium sized ; roundish, 

 obscurely angled, and slightly flattened. Skin, thick and membranous, 

 pale green, strewed all over with small russety dots, and faintly mottled,
