THE HOARY MORNING APPLE. 



The Hoary Morning Apple. Hort. Soc. Fruit Cat.no. 455. 

 Dainty Apple. Hort. Soc. Fruit Cat. no. 234. 



This very handsome and useful Apple is sup- 

 posed to have taken its origin in Somersetshire, from 

 which county specimens were first communicated 

 to the Horticultural Society, by Charles Worthing- 

 ton, Esq., several years ago. It has since become 

 much more generally diffused, and is beginning to 

 be cultivated in several parts of England. 



It is not a bad bearer as a standard, but is 

 better adapted for growing upon the Paradise Stock. 

 It ripens in the end of October, and will remain 

 good through the month of November. When in 

 perfection, it is covered with a fine bloom, like 

 that of a plum. 



Since the publication of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety's Fruit Catalogue, it has been ascertained that 

 the Dainty Apple of some parts of Norfolk is the 

 same. 



Wood rather strong, densely downy, and 

 thickly marked with whitish spots. 



Leaves rather large, convex, doubly serrated, 

 with strong stalks an inch and a half long, and 

 very broad stipules. 



Fruit rather large, round, depressed, angular, 

 with a very small, close- plaited eye. Stalk
