Varieties for Small Gardens 



Richly flavoured, the best late dessert apple. It is 

 self -sterile and must therefore be planted amongst 

 other varieties (see p. 40). 



* (w) Newton Wonder. K. Nov. -May. The 

 result of a cross between Blenheim Orange and Nor- 

 manton Wonder, this variety has most of the good 

 points of both parents. It will keep quite firm and 

 sound until June. 



* (x) Anna (or Annie) Elizabeth. K. Mar .-April. 

 Very regular cropper with large firm fruits. It 

 blossoms late and misses the frosts. 



(y) Houblon. D. Dec.-Jan. Similar to Cox's 

 Orange in shape, but it keeps longer. 



* (z) Sturmer Pippin. D. Feb.-June. Good 

 flavour and a prolific bearer. 



Cordon Apples. Any, or all, of the varieties 

 named above will do well if trained as cordons. 



Half-Standard Apples. Early Victoria, Mr. Glad- 

 stone, Duchess of Oldenburg, Worcester Pearmain, 

 Stirling Castle, Golden Spire, Lane's Prince Albert, 

 Allington Pippin and Cox's Orange may be grown in 

 this form in small gardens, the other varieties are too 

 vigorous when grafted on the crab stock. 



(ii.) BUSH PEARS AND CORDON PEARS WORKED ON 

 .r.V THE QUINCE STOCK. 



* A shorter list of ten sorts marked thus. 

 Jargonelle. Aug. Distinct shape, should be 

 gathered before it is quite ripe or the fruits will fall 

 to the ground. 



* Clapp's Favourite. Aug.-Sept. Large, pyri- 

 form, very handsome with yellow stripes. 



* Williams' Bon Chretien (or Christian). Aug.- 

 Sept. A well-known variety. Does not keep.
