APPLES. 11 



Fruit about the middle size, resembling a large and 

 well formed Nonesuch, but rather less flattened. Stalk 

 slender and deeply inserted. Skin pale yellow, beauti- 

 fully variegated with broken stripes of red. Flesh 

 crisp, very juicy, with a high flavoured acidity. It does 

 not keep late, but is a most valuable apple for the 

 kitchen while it lasts. 



Raised by the Rev. Dr. Symonds Breedon, in his 

 garden at Bere Court, near Pangbourne, in Berkshire, 

 and exhibited at the Horticultural Society, London, 

 October 15. 1822. 



18. CALVILLE ROUGE DE MICOUD. Hort. Trans. 

 Vol. v. p. 242. 



Fruit of the first crop, depressed, spherical, nearly 

 three inches in diameter, and about two inches deep ; 

 three, or more frequently four slight ridges divide it 

 lengthways, and give it a somewhat square outline. 

 Stalk moderately thick, rather long, placed in a funnel- 

 shaped cavity. Eye placed in the bottom of a hollow, 

 scooped out like a funnel, and larger than that in which 

 the stalk is placed, the divisions of the calyx remaining 

 in part when the fruit is ripe. Skin of a very deep, 

 dull red on the side next the sun, but less intense on 

 the shaded side, where it is streaked by a few lines, and 

 spots of a pale red. It is tough, adhering firmly to the 

 flesh, of an austere taste. Flesh yellowish white, fine, 

 breaking with a crystalline appearance, juicy. Juice 

 sweetish acid, and agreeably perfumed. 



Its maturity commences about the middle of July, 

 and continues, with little interruption, till November. 

 The fruit of April-flowering ripen mostly in August, 

 and are usually eaten during harvest. Those of the 

 second flowering succeed the first, and may be brought 

 to table till the end of October ; they are quite as good 

 as the first, but are not bigger than a hen's egg. The 

 fruit of the latter flowerings are not bigger than a Pomme
