58 FRUIT FARMING 



5. James Grieve Growth free, but compact; an 

 early seedling from Cox's Orange raised at Edinboro'. 

 A regular bearer, fruit handsome ; sells well, as it 

 comes for use when Dessert Apples are scarce. Sep- 

 tember early October. 



6. Ben's Red (see illustration) Growth short-jointed 

 and compact may be called a late Quarrenden but 

 a sure bearer and altogether more reliable ; selling 

 very freely in the market ; fruit bronzy-red-flat. 

 September and October. 



7. Ingestre, or Summer Golden Pippin Tree 

 pendulous, and on that account most suitable for 

 plantations ; a great cropper, soon coming into bearing, 

 fruit small, clear primrose yellow, a favourite "costers" 

 Apple, generally brings many shillings more per 

 bushel than others ; fine on dwarf Paradise trees. 

 End September. 



8. Duchess Favourite Forms a close upright tree ; 

 fruit small, brilliant scarlet, a valuable fruit to 

 market before King of Pippins ; sells freely. Early 

 September. 



CULINARY APPLES, to sell direct from the trees: 



9. White Transparent Growth upright, free. The 

 earliest kitchen Apple, fruit medium sized, pale cream 

 colour, of taking appearance, a very free bearer which 

 succeeds both near the sea and inland ; good as a 

 dwarf on Paradise. End July and August. 



10. Early Victoria Growth compact, an enormous 

 bearer and the best early yellow Codlin. Grown 

 extensively at Wisbech as Emneth's Early ; fruit 

 above medium size. August or early September.
