The Devonshire variety Sops in Wine much resembles 

 this but is distinct and rather smaller. It must not be 

 confused with the Pine Apple Russet of Hogg. 



PINE APPLE RUSSET. Dessert, October to Nov- 

 ember, medium, 2 by 2 J, oblong rounded, nearly even. 

 Colour, greenish-brown covered with fine russet. Flesh, 

 pale yellow, firm, a little dry. Eye, open in a shallow, 

 even basin, tips laid back. Stem, moderately long, 

 thin, in a small even cavity. Fertility, moderate. 

 Leaf, rather small, upfolded, boldly crenate. Origin, 

 found in a garden belonging to Mr. Hardingham, of 

 Norwich, in 1780, and first described by Lindley. 

 This is I presume Lindley's apple though he speaks 

 of its abundant juice (and Hogg copies him almost 

 verbatim), but as grown to-day, it is rather dry. The 

 apple of the same name from Devon is quite distinct 

 and I venture to add the name Devon to distinguish 

 that variety. The flavour distinctly recalls the Pine 

 Apple.

PITMASTON GOLDEN PIPPIN. Dessert, till Jan- 

 uary, small, 2 by 2|, round, flattened at top. Colour, 

 pale golden-yellow with russet and very faint brown- 

 red flush. Flesh, yellow, very crisp and juicy, nicely 

 flavoured. Eye, wide open in a very broad and shallow 

 basin. Stem, very slender and short in a very even 

 and narrow cavity. Growth, moderate ; fertile. 

 Origin, raised by Mr. Williams, of Pitmaston, about 

 1838, " probably from a seed of the Golden Pippin." 

 A very nice little fruit now seldom met.
