are flat, while those on the upper branches are nearly conical. 

 November to March. 



Fig. 50. Peck's Pleasant. 



139. PENNINGTON'S SEEDLING. Thomp. Lind. 



This is a new russet variety from England, which, we think, 

 will prove a valuable one. 



Fruit of medium size, nearly flat, a little angular, and broad- 

 est at the base. Skin mostly covered with rough yellow russet, 

 with a little pale brown in the sun. Stalk three fourths of an 

 inch long, pretty stout, planted in a wide, irregular cavity. 

 Calyx with long segments, set in a rather shallow, wavy basin. 

 Flesh yellowish, firm, crisp, with a brisk, high flavoured, acid 

 juice. November to March. 



140. POUND. Coxe. Thomp. 



A very large and showy fruit, but of very indifferent quality, 

 and not worth cultivation where better sorts are to be had. The 

 fruit is roundish-oblong, striped with red, on a dull greenish 

 yellow ground. The stalk short, and deeply inserted. The 

 flesh yellowish green, and without much flavour. October to 

 January.
