140. HARVEY APPLE. G. Lindl. in Hort. Trans. 

 Vol. iv. p. 67. 



Doctor Harvey's Apple. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 251. 



Fruit rather large, oval, generally about nine inches 

 and a half or ten inches in circumference, narrow at 

 the crown, slightly angular on the sides. Eye small, 

 scarcely sunk, surrounded by several small knobby plaits. 

 Stalk half an inch long, slender, deeply inserted in a 

 wide, uneven cavity. Skin greenish yellow, full of 

 green and pearly specks, with various russetty, broken 

 ramifications near the crown. Flesh whitish, firm. 

 Juice quick, sub-acid, with a little musky perfume. 



A valuable culinary fruit from October to January. 



This is a real Norfolk apple, and but little known 

 out of the county. It appears to have been known in 

 the time of Ray, in 1688, who says it took its name 

 from " the famous Dr. Gabriel Harvey ." 



When baked in an oven which is not too hot, these 

 apples are most excellent ; they become sugary, and will 

 keep a week or ten days, furnishing for the dessert a 

 highly-flavoured sweetmeat. It makes a large hand- 

 some tree, is very hardy, and a great bearer. 



141. HOLLOW-CROWNED PIPPIN. Hort. Soc. Cat. 

 No. 459. 



Fruit middle-sized, of an oblong figure, fully as broad 

 at the crown as at the base, slightly angular on its sides. 

 Eye wide, and deeply sunk. Stalk short, thick, and 

 crooked. Skin pale green, becoming yellow with a faint 

 blush on the side next the sun. Flesh firm, juicy, sub- 

 acid, with a slight portion of sugar. 



A culinary apple from October to January. A hardy 

 bearer, peculiar to Norfolk, and common in the Nor- 

 wich market.
