WHAT TO PLAXT. 31 



fine apple, round, and somewhat flattened; skin, pale 

 green. Tree, a vigorous grower, with very large foliage, 

 and, considering the size of the fruit, a free bearer. The 

 tree has a spreading habit. 



WELLINGTON. K. Dec. to April. A large and well- 

 known fruit. One of our most valuable kitchen apples 

 for late use, and, coming in as they do when fruit is 

 scarce, good samples command high prices. Tree of a 

 spreading habit, and fruit in season from November to 

 April, and even later when well kept. 



WINTER QUEENING OR DUCKSBILL OF SUSSEX. T. and 

 K. Nov. to May. A medium-sized, conical fruit, covered 

 with deep crimson. It is grown largely in Sussex, especi- 

 ally by cottagers and small growers, and called by them 

 the Winter and Scarlet Pearmain. The tree has a 

 spreading habit, and crops well. A valuable late apple. 



WORCESTER PEARMAIN. T. Aug. to Sept. Medium, 

 conical ; colour, deep crimson ; quality, only second rate ; 

 but it makes up in appearance what it lacks in quality. 

 Being a heavy and certain cropper, and extremely hand- 

 some in appearance, it can be highly recommended as an 

 early market variety. 



Beyond the foregoing, a supplementary list of other 

 useful varieties may be mentioned as follows : 



Beauty of Kent, Bramley's Seedling, Claygate Pear- 

 main, Dutch Mignonne, Early Julien, Gladstone, Golden 

 Knob, Queen Caroline, Schoolmaster, Sussex Forge, 

 Yellow Ingestrie, Yorkshire Beauty. 



Bush or Pyramid Apples. 



CELLINI. K. and T. Sept. to Oct. Medium to large, 

 conical, highly flushed and streaked, and very handsome. 

 Tree forming a natural pyramid, and very early bearer.
