WINTER QUEENING. Her. Pom., p. 14. Dessert

 Colour, yellow, nearly covered with dull red stripes 

 and flush. Flesh, firm, yellow, sub-acid. Eye, open, 

 in a shallow, much wrinkled and lined basin. Stem, 

 moderate length, in a rather narrow wrinkled cavity. 

 Growth, vigorous ; fertile. Leaf, rather small, greyish, 

 upfolded, twisted, shallow serrate or crenate. Origin, 

 an old Sussex variety, probably of great antiquity. 

 I fancy the Sussex Duck's Bill, usually quoted as 

 synonymous with this variety is really distinct.
