No. 13. Apius''s Apple (Malus fru^u fplendide purpu- 

 rea, TouRN. IJJpJ, Quint.) is eafily known by a 

 lively red colour all over its fiirface, a tliin and delicate 

 flcin : its pulp is foft, its juice fweet, and agreeably per- 

 fumed. This is a charming little Apple. The tree is 

 beautiful, and a great bearer. 



No. 14. Golden-Rennet iultly merits the preference to 

 the Grey and White Rennets, though both are good 

 Apples. It is of a middling fize, roundifli, but rathef 

 long, fomewhat flat at each end, with the eye and ftalk 

 a little deprefled. Its colour, when ripe, is a dark yel- 

 low, with a little ruflet, or very dark red on the funny 

 fjde: its flefh, though firm, is melting, its juice delici- 

 oufly fweet, and of a fine flavour. The wood of the tree 

 is ftrong, it grows regularly, and bears well. 



No. i^. Golden-Pippins are fmall, nearly round; feme 

 of them are longilh ; the eye and ft<ilk are a little de- 

 prefTed. They are of a beautiful yellow colour, and 

 fpotted ; their fiefti is firm, but melting, not very juicy; 

 their tafte is an agreeable mixture of fweet and four, 

 joined to a rich flavour. The tree grows regularly, and 

 where it thrives is very beautiful, but is apt to die down 

 every fpring in part, where the fituation is cold. Not- 

 withflanding which, it Is generally a good bearer: it does 

 excellently well on a Paradife-ftock, w^hethcr planted on 

 a v/all, as a dwarf or cfp^lier.

 der; their juice of z vinous brifknefs, joined to a very 

 agreeable mixture of acid and fweet. This delicious 

 fruit was ripe the end o'i Oilob r i 762. The tiec thrives 

 Well, and bears well. 



No. 17. Rcyal Pcar-Miiin exnBly rcfembles the above 

 in fhape, fize, and colour, nor does it differ much in its 

 qualities. It ripened tlie beginning of A'^iivw/x;-;" 1762. 

 This tree is delicate, and apt to fulTer in one part or oilier, 

 whenever the fpring is cold ; yet it bears well.
