EXPLANATORY LIST OF SORTS. 39 



Par. 24. Old Nonpareil; this is an apple 

 too well known to require much explanation 

 or recommendation ; it is a fine keeping table 

 fruit. 



Par. 25. Downton Pippin ; this is one of 

 the productions of Mr. Knight, of Downton 

 Castle, and President of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety ; it is a very handsome small yellow ap- 

 ple, very full of juice, of rather a tart flavour ; it 

 is a great bearer and in high perfection in the 

 autumn. 



Par. 26. Sykehouse; this is a small firm 

 table apple of a russet colour, handsome form, 

 and equal, from Christmas till May, to the old 

 nonpareil ; it is a very great bearer. 



We have not a better keeping table apple 

 in England. 



Par. 27. Yellow Ingestry Pippin ; this is a 

 very handsome small yellow table fruit, a good 

 bearer, and is in perfection about October. 



Par. 28. Hicks Fancy ; this is a most deli- 

 cious desert apple, of small size, a very great 

 bearer, and will keep; but it is best before 

 Christmas.
