Hicks's Fancy, Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 450. 



Fruit middle-sized, a little more long than broad, and 

 somewhat narrowed at the crown. Eye small, in a very 

 shallow basin. Stalk three quarters of an inch long, slen- 

 der. Skin yellowish, covered with a very thin russet, in- 

 terspersed with a few gray specks. Flesh yellowish white, 

 very crisp, and tender. Juice plentiful, of a rich and highly 

 aromatic flavour. 



A dessert apple in October and November. 



This very excellent apple was raised from a seed of the old 

 Nonpareil, by a nurseryman of the name of Stagg, at Cais- 

 ter, near Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk, about fifty years ago. 

 The tree has much the appearance of the Nonpareil, except 

 its wood being shorter, and of a more upright growth. It is 

 a hardy bearer, and highly deserving of cultivation.
