120 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



An early apple of inferior quality. It is much grown about Heath- 

 field, in Sussex, where it is esteemed for its earliness, and where it ripens 

 in the first week of August. 



KEDDLESTON PIPPIN. Fruit, small, two inches and a quarter 

 wide, and not quite so much high ; roundish ovate, and regularly 

 formed. Skin, of a uniform golden yellow colour, with veinings and 

 specks of russet. Eye, half open, set in a shallow plaited basin. 

 Stamens, marginal ; tube, conical. Stalk, short, thick and fleshy. 

 Flesh, yellowish, crisp, very juicy, sugary, and aromatic. Cells, 

 obovate ; axile, closed or slit. 



A first-rate dessert apple ; in use from November to March. 



KEEPING RED-STREAK. Fruit, medium sized ; roundish, 

 flattened, angular on the sides. Skin, green at first, changing to 

 greenish yellow, and striped with red on the shaded side, but entirely 

 covered with dark red on the side next the sun ; marked with russet, 

 and numerous grey dots. Eye, open, set in a shallow and undulating 

 basin. Stalk, very short, imbedded in a narrow and shallow cavity. 

 Flesh, greenish yellow, firm, brisk, and pleasantly flavoured. 



A culinary apple ; in use from December to April. 



KEEPING RUSSET. Fruit, medium sized, two inches and five- 

 eighths wide, and two inches and a quarter high ; roundish. Skin, 

 entirely covered with thin, pale yellowish brown russet, like the Golden 

 Russet, and occasionally with a bright, varnished, fiery-red cheek on 

 the side next the sun, \vhich is sometimes more distinct than at others. 

 Eye, open, set in a round and plaited basin. Stalk, very short, 

 imbedded in a rather shallow cavity. Flesh, yellow, firm, juicy, and 

 sugary, with a particula'ly rich, mellow flavour, equal to, and even 

 surpassing that of the Ribston Pippin. 



A delicious dessert apple, of first-rate quality ; in use from October 

 to January, and, under favourable circumstances, will even keep till 

 March. 



This is an apple which is very little known, and does not seem at all 

 to be in general cultivation. I obtained it from the private garden of 

 the late Mr. James Lee, at Hammersmith. It certainly deserves greater 

 publicity. 



Kempster's Pippin. See Blenheim Pippin. 

 Kentish Broading. See Broad-end. 



KENTISH CODLIN. This is so exactly like the English Codlin, 

 which I have already described, that, after examining a great number of 

 specimens, I cannot observe any great difference between them. 



Kentish Deux-Ans. See Graham.
