Reinette des Carmes i 



It is not certain how this "aiiety acquired its 

 common English name. It has been known many 

 years in collections near London, and is by no 

 means uncommon upon the Continent, as its dif- 

 ferent names seem to shew. 



A very good table Apple ; not perhaps of first- 

 rate quality, but at the same time far from medio- 

 crity; ripening in November, and keeping in per- 

 fection through December and January. 



A good bearer either as a dwarf or standard, for 

 both of which it is well adapted. 



The singular speckled appearance of its surface 

 distinguishes this from all other Apples. 



Wood dull chestnut, with a few pale-brown 

 spots. 



Leaves middle-sized, flat, oval, with a remark- 

 ably long, abruptly acuminate point, which has very 

 few serratures. Stipules long, linear. 



Flowers below the middle size. Petals 

 somewhat oval, inclining to ovate, nearly flat, not 

 imbricated when fully expanded.
