APPLES. 15 



brown, tinged with bright red streaks, when exposed 

 to the sun. Flesh greenish yellow, with a pretty good 

 juice. A good culinary apple from Michaelmas to 

 Christmas. 



Specimens of this apple were sent me from Mr. Kirke 

 of Brompton. 



24. FRANKLIN'S GOLDEN PIPPIN. Hart. Soc. Cat. 

 No. 383. Pom. Mag. 1. 137- 



Sudlow's Fall Pippin. Hort. Trans. Vol. iv. p. 217- 

 according to the Pom. Mag. 



Fruit middle sized, oval, rather broadest at the base. 

 Eye slightly sunk in an even hollow, surrounded by 

 very minute plaits, generally closed by the segments of 

 the calyx. Stalk short, slender, in a deep cavity. Skin 

 bright deep yellow, somewhat scabrous, with a tinge of 

 green, sprinkled with numerous grey and dark-coloured 

 specks or spots. Flesh pale yellow, crisp, tender. Juice 

 rich, of a poignant aromatic flavour. A most excellent 

 autumnal dessert apple, from Michaelmas to Christmas. 



This appears to be of American origin, and was im- 

 ported by Mr. Sudlow from the United States, as 

 appears from the statement in the Transactions of the 

 Horticultural Society above alluded to in 1819. Its 

 introduction, however, was previously to this, and can- 

 not have been later than 1805 or 1806. 



25. FRANK RAMBOUR. Switzer. 

 Rambour Franc. Duh. Vol. i. 28. t. 10. 

 Rambour Gros. Hart. Soc. Cat. No. 844. 



Fruit large, of a flattish and somewhat irregular 

 figure, about two inches and a half deep, and three 

 inches and a quarter in diameter. Eye rather large, 

 with a long connivent calyx, deeply sunk in an irregu- 

 larly angled basin. Stalk short, deeply inserted. Skin 

 pale yellow, with a few stains of red on the sunny side, 

 and a little russetty in the cavity round the stalk. 

 Flesh rather soft, with a slightly acid juice. A good 

 culinary apple in October and November.
