 ance somewhat like the Nonesuch, but broader at the 

 base ; moderately depressed about the foot-stalk, and 

 very hollow at the crown, where the segments of the 

 calyx remain long, and rolled back. Stalk one quarter 

 of an inch within the base. Skin gold colour, on the 

 side next the sun dashed with long, broad, scarlet

(jrrummage Pippin, J J 



Fruit small, about six inches in circumference, nearly 

 globular, a little flattened at the crown, and having 

 somewhat the appearance of a Golden Pippin. Eye 

 small. Stalk very short, inserted in a very shallow 

 cavity. Skin pale green when fresh gathered, becom- 

 ing pale yellow, spotted and marbled with a thin russet. 

 Flesh very hard and firm, pale green. Juice sub-acid, 

 of a pleasant flavour. 



A very neat dessert apple, from December to June. 



This apple is supposed to be of Warwickshire origin, 

 and is to be found in different parts of England under 

 various names. It makes but a small tree. The branches 

 are short and very stout, and its fruit is of a greater 

 specific variety than any other apple with which I am 

 acquainted.
