of various Nurseries. 



A Somersetshire Apple of the highest merit. It 

 was originally raised in a village in that county, 

 from the seed of the Golden Pippin, to which it 

 is little inferior either as a cider or table fruit. 

 The tree is very healthy and vigorous, and a great 

 bearer. 



Ripens in the middle of October, is in perfection 

 in January, and will keep, with good management, 

 till the middle of March . 



Like most other fruits of much excellence, it has 

 received a number of different names, which are 

 enumerated above. 



The Wood is weak, grayish brown, with a thin 

 coating of slate-coloured epidermis, very slightly 

 pubescent. 



Leaves flattish, ovate, obtuse, regularly serrated, 

 with a downy petiole and underside. Stipules as 

 long as the petiole.
