This excellent Apple has long been known in 

 our Gardens, having been spoken of by the earliest 

 English writers upon gardening. 



It must not be confounded with the Reinette 

 Doree of the French, nor with the Apple bearing 

 the same name in Holland, both of which are dis- 

 tinct from this, and also from each other, but 

 equally deserving cultivation. 



This sort bears unusually well in our climate ; 

 its blossoms suffer less from spring frosts than those 

 of many varieties. The fruit is a valuable winter 

 kind, ripening in the end of October, and keeping 

 till the end of January, or even later, after hot, dry 

 summers. 



Wood rather strong, dark chestnut brown, 

 coated with a little silvery white, but not parti- 

 cularly downy. 



Leaves ovate, acuminate, doubly serrated, dark 

 shining green. Stipules lanceolate, reflexed.
