202 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



segments, placed in a round, even, and pretty deep basin. Stamens, 

 marginal or median ; tube, conical or funnel-shaped. Stalk, upwards 

 of half an inch long, slender, and inserted almost the whole of its 

 length in a deep, round, smooth, funnel-shaped cavity. Flesh, yellow- 

 ish, very tender and juicy, with a pleasant, delicate, sub-acid, but not 

 brisk flavour. Cells, ovate ; axile. 



A very excellent culinary apple ; in use from November till March. 

 Like the Dumelow's Seedling, this apple is translucent round the eye. 



The Royal Somerset of the Horticultural Society's Catalogue is London Pippin ; 

 but the variety described above is a very distinct fruit, and has more the resem- 

 blance of a medium-sized Blenheim Pippin, both in shape, colour, and the 

 formation of the eye. I obtained this in 1847 from the late Mr. James Lake, 

 nurseryman, of Bridgewater. 



EOYAL WILDING. Fruit, small, two inches and three-eighths 

 wide, and the same high ; conical, with obtuse ribs, which extend to the 

 crown and form ridges round the eye. Skin, greenish yellow on the 

 shaded side, and brownish red on the side next the sun ; sometimes the 

 skin is entirely greenish yellow, with an orange tinge next the sun. 

 Eye, small and closed, with erect convergent segments. Stamens, 

 marginal ; tube, deep conical. Stalk, very short, or a mere fleshy 

 knob, deeply inserted in the shallow cavity. Flesh, woolly, not very 

 juicy, sweet, and harshly flavoured. Cells, long, elliptical, pointed ; 

 axile.

EUSHOCK PEAEMAIN. Fruit, rather below medium size, two 

 inches and a half wide, and the same in height ; conical, even and 

 handsomely formed. Skin, of a fine deep yellow colour, almost entirely 

 covered with cinnamon-coloured russet, with a brownish tinge on the 

 side next the sun. Eye, large and open, with broad flat segments, 

 which generally fall off as the fruit ripens. Stalk, a quarter of an inch 

 long, stout, and inserted in a pretty deep cavity. Flesh, yellowish, 

 firm, crisp, and juicy, with a brisk, sub-acid, and sugary flavour. 



An excellent dessert apple of first-rate quality; it is in use from 

 Christmas to April. 



This is frequently met with in the Birmingham markets. It was raised, accord- 

 ing to Mr. Maund, by a blacksmith of the name of Charles Taylor, at Rushock, 

 in Worcestershire, about tbe year 1821, and is sometimes known by the name of 

 Charles's Pearmain.
