with russet. Flesh, firm, pale greenish-yellow, good 

 flavour, rather dry. Eye, half open, almost on a level 

 with the fruit. Stem, very short and stout in a small 

 russet cavity. Growth, moderate, makes a fine stand- 

 ard ; very fertile. Leaf, slightly upward folding, 

 very boldly serrate, sometimes crenate. Origin, raised 

 at Holker Hall, Lanes., by Mr. Wilson, gardener to the 

 Duke of Devonshire, in 1835. It is quite indispensable 

 for late use. Remarkable for the variegation of fruit, 

 leaves and wood. This is best seen in young trees. 

 Makes a fine standard tree.
