38. RED INGESTRIE. Hort. Trans. Vol. i. p. 227. 

 Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 481. Pom. Mag. 1. 17. 



Fruit roundish, oblong, about the size of a large 

 Golden Pippin, with a small calyx, and hollow open 

 eye, wholly destitute of angles. Stalk short, slender. 

 Skin bright yellow, deeply tinged with red on the sunny 

 side, with many indistinct white spots. Flesh yellowish, 

 firm, juicy, and rich, nearly as highly flavoured as that 

 of the Golden Pippin. 



An excellent and beautiful dessert apple, ripening the 

 end of October, but not in perfection after having been 

 gathered a few weeks. 



This and the yellow Ingestrie sprang from two seeds 

 taken from the same cell of an Orange Pippin, which 

 had been impregnated with the pollen of the Old Golden 

 Pippin. They were raised by T. A. Knight, Esq. 

 about 1800, and planted at Wonnsley Grange, in Here- 

 fordshire. Their name is derived from the seat of the 

 Earl Talbot, in Staffordshire. They were first noticed 

 in the Hort. Trans, in March, 1811.
