Motteux s Seedling .... J 



A most valuable table-fruit, raised several years 

 ago by John Motteux, Esq. at Beachamwell, in 

 Norfolk, where the original tree still exists. 



It is a good bearer, and very hardy; and the 

 fruit keeping well, and being of the smaller size, 

 it is particularly well adapted to a select but not 

 extensive collection. No good Garden ought to 

 be without either this, the Golden Harvey, or the 

 Court of Wick all excellent substitutes for the 

 delicate and unhealthy Golden Pippin. 



WOOD bright chestnut colour, sprinkled with 

 whitish spots. 



LEAVES flat, ovate, sometimes oblong, pointed 

 at the apex, and evenly serrated. 



FLOWERS middle-sized, rose-coloured. PETALS 

 oblong, not imbricated when fully expanded. 



FRUIT rather below the middle size, the shape 

 of a small Golden Reinette, EYE small, open, 

 slightly sunk. STALK rather more than half an 

 inch long, and moderately thick, SKIN pale yellow, 

 with a slight indication to red on the exposed side, 

 sprinkled with uneven brown spots. FLESH yel- 

 low, tender, juicy, sweet, and pleasant ; in excellent 

 condition at the end of March.
