 Red Ingestrie Pippin. Hort. Trans, vol. i. p. 227. 



This, and its sister the Yellow Ingestrie, sprang 

 from two seeds taken from the same cell of an 

 Orange Pippin which had been impregnated with 

 the pollen of the Old Golden Pippin. They were 

 raised by the President of the Horticultural Society, 

 about the year 1800, and were planted at his then 

 Place called Wormsley Grange, in Herefordshire : 

 their name was derived from the seat of the Earl 

 Talbot in Staffordshire. They were first brought 

 into notice by a communication, accompanied by 

 grafts, made by Mr. Knight to the Horticultural 

 Society in March 1811. 



It is an excellent table apple, ripening in the 

 end of October, and very similar in colour to a well- 

 matured Golden Reinette. It is not in perfection 

 after having been gathered a few weeks. It bears 

 in great abundance, either as a standard or dwarf 

 tree. 



Our drawing was made at Mr. Kirke's Nursery 

 last autumn.
