127. NEWARK PIPPIN. Coxe.

 drooping habit of the branches.

 greenish yellow, becoming a fine yellow when fully ripe, with 

 clusters of small black dots, and rarely a very faint blush. 

 Calyx in a regular and rather deep basin. Stalk moderately 

 long, and deeply inserted. Flesh yellow, tender, very rich, 

 juicy, and high flavoured. A very desirable fruit for the ama-

Winter Pearmain. Coxe. 

 Royal Pearmain. Lind. Ran. 

 Parmin Royal. Knoop. 

 Old Pearmain. 

 Royale d'Angleterre. 



This delicious old variety, generally known here as the winter 

 or autumn Pearmain, is one of the finest of all winter dessert fruits, 

 and its mild and agreeable flavour renders it here, as abroad, an 

 universal favourite, both as a dessert apple, and for cooking. 



Fruit of medium size, oblong, and of a pretty regular Peai- 

 main-shape. Skin stained, and mottled with soft, brownish red 

 on a dull, russety green ground, dotted with grayish specks. 

 The red thickly mottled near the eye, with yellowish russet spots.
