32 APPLES. 



Fruit below the middle size, about twice as large as a 

 Golden Pippin, ovate, flat at either end, with no traces of 

 angles or plaits at the eye. Eye large, open, with a reflex- 

 ed calyx, in a shallow depression. Stalk short, slender. 

 Skin greenish yellow in the shade, bright orange, \vith small 

 russetty brown spots where exposed, sometimes slightly tin- 

 ged with red next the sun. Flesh pale yellow, mixed with 

 green, when first gathered ; becoming deep yellow, crisp, 

 tender, juicy, and highly flavoured when fully ripe. A des- 

 sert apple from October till April. 



This most excellent and beautiful little apple originated 

 from a seed of the Golden Pippin at Court de Wick, as it 

 was formerly written, in Somersetshire. Throughout this, 

 and indeed throughout almost all the western counties, it is 

 held in the highest estimation as a table fruit. The trees 

 grow to a good size, are very hardy, standing in some places 

 the most severe blasts from the Welsh mountains, and there 

 bearing in the greatest abundance, becoming the most per- 

 fectly ripened of their orchard fruits. It cannot have too ex- 

 tensive a cultivation.

Fruit middle sized, round, depressed, without any trace 

 of angles. Eye large, open, in a wide shallow basin. Stalk 

 short, very deeply inserted, rarely projecting beyond the base 

 of the fruit. Skin deep red next the sun, greenish yellow on 

 the shaded side. Flesh yellow, crisp, with a rich, lively, 

 agreeable flavour. A dessert apple from November till 

 March. 



This is one of the handsomest and best of our table apples. 

 It is of French origin, but how long it has been in this coun- 

 try is uncertain.
