70 APPLES. 



Fruit middle-sized, flatly compressed, rather narrowest 

 at the crown, near three inches in its widest, and two inches 

 and a half in its shortest diameter. Eye rather open, in a 

 broad shallow basin, surrounded by slight irregular plaits. 

 Stalk short, not deeply inserted. Skin of a dull green, near- 

 ly covered with russet, a little mixed with yellow, and faint 

 red on the sunny side. Flesh greenish, rather more inclined 

 to yellow than that of the Nonpareil. Juice rich, with a 

 high aromatic flavour, and the peculiar perfume of the Non- 

 pareil. 



A dessert apple of great merit in November and De- 

 cember. 



Raised by John Williams, Esq. in his garden at Pitmas- 

 ton, St. John's, near Worcester. 



182. POWELL'S RUSSET. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 994. 

 Fruit rather small, about two inches in diameter, and an 



inch and three quarters deep, somewhat flat at both ends, 

 and quite free from angles on its sides. Eye small, open, 

 slightly sunk in a shallow narrow basin. Stalk half an inch 

 long, slender, inserted in a very regular round cavity, twice 

 as deep as the crown. Skin pale yellowish green, partially 

 covered with a thin pale russet, but wholly covered round 

 the crown, and shaded with brown on the sunny side. Flesh 

 firm, of a clear pale yellow. Juice plentiful, saccharine and 

 approaching in flavour to a well-ripened Nonpareil. 



A very neat dessert apple from November till January. 



This a good deal resembles the Acklam's Russet, exempt 

 in the crown, which is narrower, and the depression not 

 quite so deep. It is a very neat and excellent little apple, 

 and may be justly reckoned one of our best Russets. 



183. REINETTE DE HONGRIE. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 

 908. 



Fruit middle-sized, round, and somewhat flat, without any 

 angles on its sides, two inches and a quarter deep, and two 

 inches and three quarters in diameter. Eye rather small, 

 with a connivent calyx, seated in a deep basin, surrounded 

 by a few slight plaits. Stalk short, deeply inserted in a knob- 

 by cavity. Skin a completely thick, rough gray russet, with 

 a little faint orange on the sunny side, the whole covered 

 with numerous warty specks, more or less prominent. Flesh 

 greenish white, intermixed with green, firm, crisp. Juice 

 saccharine, of a rich aromatic flavour. 



A dessert apple from November till April.
