AUTUMN APPLES. 93 



Fruit rather large, regular, oblong, narrowing to the eye. 

 Skin clear, glossy, bright yellow, and when exposed, with a dull 

 blush next the sun. Calyx set in a narrow and deep basin. 

 Stalk rather slender, not three fourths of an inch long. Flesh 

 fine grained, and abounding with juice of a sprightly agreeable 

 flavour. Ripens in September, and deserves general cultivation. 



60. PINE APPLE RUSSET. Lindley. 



We have at last been able to procure this variety, and we 

 insert Lindley's description, in order to draw attention to a sort 

 which appears to be highly deserving of trial in this country. 



" Fruit above the middle size, roundish, ovate, with broad ob- 

 tuse angles on its sides, about two inches and three quarters in 

 diameter, and two inches and a half deep. Eye small, with a 

 very short, connivent calyx, placed in a shallow depression, sur- 

 rounded by ten rather unequal plaits. Stalk an inch long, in- 

 serted in an uneven cavity, one half of which protrudes beyond 

 the base. Skin pale greenish yellow, almost covered with white 

 specks on one part, and a thick scabrous, yellowish russet on 

 the other, which extends round the stock. Flesh very pale yel- 

 low, crisp, very short, and tender. Juice more abundant than 

 in any apple I have ever met with, as it generally runs very 

 copiously as soon as cut open, saccharine, with that just propor- 

 tion of acid which characterizes our most valuable fruits, and of 

 a spicy aromatic flavour, with a high perfume. 



A dessert apple from the end of September to the middle of 

 October."
