300 THE NEW GARDENING 



Cox's Pomona. An Apple of splendid form and colour, 

 but too soft to be of the highest class. 



Peasgood's Nonsuch. The handsomest of all the 

 culinary Apples, and a sure prize-winner. It gives the 

 largest size as well as the most beautiful form. A Bear- 

 quick and adapted to most soils. Table quality hardly 

 of the highest, but certainly a variety to plant. 



Rev. W. Wilks. A cross between a dessert and a 

 culinary variety, having been raised between Ribston 

 Pippin and Peasgood's Nonsuch. As much a dessert as a 

 cooking variety, and a good Apple. 



Annie Elizabeth. As it is a naturally vigorous grower 

 this variety may be chosen for poor soil, although it is a 

 little soft and lacking the highest table quality. 



Golden Spire. A real Bear-quick and one of the surest 

 bearers. Conical, colours yellow, rather small. 



Rambling Seedling. A large, solid, heavy Apple. 



Grenadier. A good Bear-quick. Conical. Yields well. 



Blenheim Orange. A Bear-slow of the most uncom- 

 promising type. Best left alone by Apple-planters who 

 have passed three-score-and-ten. 



Lane's Prince Albert. One of the best of the Bear- 

 quicks, being a sure and heavy bearer and a long keeper. 

 Everybody should plant it for every purpose. 



Newton Wonder. One of the best long keepers, and a 

 variety of good constitution. Inferior only to Bramley's 

 Seedling and Blenheim as an orchard standard, and bears 

 sooner than either. 



Wellington. Fairly quick bearing, and of the finest 

 table quality. A grand Apple for the good-soil garden. 



Bramley's Seedling. Not a true Bear-quick, and yet 

 must be planted by everybody because of its sure and 

 heavy cropping, fine keeping powers and splendid table 

 quality. The best orchard standard.
