APPLES. 43 



pale yellow, mixed with green, when first gathered ; be- 

 coming deep yellow, crisp, tender, juicy, and highly 

 flavoured when fully ripe. A dessert apple from October 

 till April. 



This most excellent and beautiful little apple origi- 

 ginated from a seed of the Golden Pippin at Court de 

 Wick, as it was fornlerly written, in Somersetshire. 

 Throughout this, and indeed throughout almost all the 

 western counties, it is held in the highest estimation as 

 a table fruit. The trees grow to a good size, are very 

 hardy, standing in some places the most severe blasts 

 from the Welsh mountains, and there bearing in the 

 greatest abundance, becoming the most perfectly ripened 

 of their orchard fruits. It cannot have too extensive 

 a cultivation.

Garnon's Apple. Nursery Catalogues. 



Fruit middle sized, round, depressed, without any 

 trace of angles. Eye large, open, in a wide shallow 

 basin. Stalk short, very deeply inserted, rarely pro- 

 jecting beyond the base of the fruit. Skin deep red 

 next the sun, greenish yellow on the shaded side. Flesh 

 yellow, crisp, with a rich, lively, agreeable flavour. A 

 dessert apple from November till March. 



This is one of the handsomest and best of our 

 table apples. It is of French origin, but how long it 

 has been in this country is uncertain. There are a few 

 trees of it growing at Garnons, the seat of Sir J. G. 

 Cotterell, Bart., near Hereford, which were planted 

 ten or fifteen years ago ; they are very hardy, handsome, 

 and upright in their growth, and very excellent bearers. 

 Its fruit possesses so many good qualities, that it ought 

 to be introduced into every good collection in England.
