49. KING OF THE PIPPINS. Thomp. Lind. Ron. 

 Hampshire Yellow. 



An apple highly rated in England, whence it comes, but which 

 scarcely proves first rate here. Fruit of medium size, of a 

 conical or pearmam shape. Skin smooth, pale yellow, delicately 

 streaked and washed with red next the sun. Stalk slender, an 

 inch long. Calyx large, set in a deep even basin. Flesh white, 

 very firm and of fair quality. The tree is an upright grower, 

 and bears abundantly. October and November. 



50. KERRY PIPPIN. Thomp. Lind. Ron. 

 Edmonton's Aromatic Pippin, ac Thomp. 



An Irish dessert apple, from the county of Kerry, as its name 

 implies. Fruit middle size, oval, a little flattened at the eye. 

 Skin pale yellow, mingled with a deeper yellow, with a glossy 

 surface, and stained and streaked with red. Stalk of medium 

 length, sometimes short, set in a narrow cavity, with a projection 

 of the fruit on one side, and occasionally, a line or ridge, run- 

 ning from the eye to the stalk. Calyx set in a plaited basin. 

 Flesh yellow, tender, crisp, with a sugary flavour. Ripens in 

 September and October.
