THE APPLE. 



WlNESAP. COXE. 



Wine Sop ? Thomp. Potpie Apple. 



This is not only a good apple for the table, but it is also one 

 of the very finest cider fruits, and its fruitfulness renders it a 

 great favourite with orchardists. The tree grows rather irregu- 

 larly, and does not form a handsome head, but it bears early, 

 and the apples have the good quality of hanging late upon the 

 trees, without injury, while the tree thrives well on sandy, light 

 soils. Valuable at the west. 



Fruit of medium size, rather oblong. Skin smooth, of a fine 

 dark red, with a few streaks, and a little yellow ground, appear-

 with fine plaits. Flesh yellow, firm, crisp, with a rich, high 

 flavour. November to May.

Fruit large, irregularly oblate. Skin whitish, yellow, waxen

 short, inserted in a broad deep furrowed cavity. Calyx small 

 closed, set in a rather deep open basin. Flesh white, tender
