BURR KNOT. Ronalds, p. 39. (Hide's Walking 

 Stick.) Culinary, October to November, large, 3} by 3, 

 round, conical, irregular. Colour, golden-yellow, faint 

 red flush. Flesh tender, yellow, acid. Growth moder- 

 ate, compact ; fertile. Leaf, small, oval, broadly 

 serrate. Origin, uncertain. This name has been 

 applied to many different fruits on account of the knots 

 on branches, from which roots are easily emitted. 

 Now rarely met with, save in old orchards. This is 

 quite distinct from the Oslin, also called Burr Knot.

BUXTED FAVOURITE. Culinary, December to 

 February, medium, 2j by 2|, flattened round a little 

 conical, even. Colour, pale golden yellow, slight 

 brown red flush and stripes like a King of the Pippins ; 

 smooth. Flesh, yellow, crisp, rather acid, very little 

 flavour. Eye open in a deep and wide plaited basin. 

 Stem, short in a deep narrow russet cavity. A rather 

 poor fruit with me, certainly not more than a cooking 

 variety.

 ber, very large, 3j by 2j, flattened round, nearly

 Growth, very vigorous ; fertile. Leaf, very large,
