APPLES. IS 



closed by a short calyx, moderately sunk, in a very even 

 circular basin, perfectly free from plaits. Stalk short, 

 slender, rather deeply sunk, not protruding beyond the 

 base. Skin pale greenish yellow, becoming bright yel- 

 low when highly ripened, marbled and streaked with 

 red on the sunny side, like the Nonesuch. Flesh pale 

 yellowish white, tender. Juice rather thin, smart, 

 slightly saccharine, and of a very pleasant flavour. A 

 culinary apple in October and November. 



This apple has very much the appearance of a small 

 Nonesuch, from which it has probably originated. Its 

 branches are spurred in the same manner, and it bears 

 equally as well and as soon. A great many trees of it 

 have lately been planted by the kitchen gardeners in the 

 neighbourhood of London.
