 and fleshy, inserted in a contracted cavity, with a projection 

 of the fruit on one side ; one or more sharp ridges or lines

An excellent dessert apple from September till November.

 very deserving of cultivation, and succeeds best grafted on 

 the Doucin stock, and trained in the garden as an espalier.
