Flowers open in the beginning of May, middl.e- 

 sized, pale red, tinged with yellow. Petals 

 oblong, slightly imbricated at the base ; not con- 

 cave, as in many varieties. 



Fruit below the middle size, about twice as 

 large as a Golden Pippin, ovate, flat at either end, 

 with no trace of angles or of plaits at the eye. Eye 

 large, open, in a shallow depression. Skin greenish 

 yellow in the shade ; bright orange, with small rus- 

 set-brown spots, when exposed ; sometimes slightly 

 tinged with red next the sun. Flesh whitish 

 yellow mixed with green, when first gathered ; be- 

 coming deep yellow, crisp, tender, juicy, and high- 

 flavoured, when fully ripe. 



The accompanying drawing was made in Mr. 

 Kirke's Nursery, in October last.
