APPLES. 73 



Golden Vining, of Devonshire. According to the 

 Pom. Mag. Ib. 



Fruit small, ovate, about two inches deep, and the 

 same in diameter, free from angles. Eye small, close, 

 with a very short calyx, slightly depressed. Stalk short. 

 Skin pale russet, or cinnamon colour, with a little green 

 or red breaking through it here and there; in some 

 specimens, particularly in warm seasons, of an uniform, 

 clear, yellowish green, without russet, mottled and 

 tinged with orange or pale red on the sunny side. Flesh 

 yellow, firm, rather dry. Juice sweet, rich, of a most 

 highly perfumed aromatic flavour. 



A dessert apple from October till March or April. 



This is a real Norfolk apple, well known in the Norwich 

 market ; and although it may be found elsewhere, its 

 great excellence may have caused its removal hence. 

 It may have acquired the name of Golden Vining in 

 Devonshire, with as much facility as the Court of Wick, 

 that of Wood's Transparent Pippin at Huntingdon. 

 The merits of Hubbard's Pearmain as a table apple are 

 unrivalled, and its superior, from the commencement 

 of its season to the end, does not, I am of opinion, exist 

 in this country. It is a small-growing tree, very hardy, 

 and an abundant bearer, both in the orchard and in the 

 garden as an espalier. 



143. KENTISH PIPPIN. Miller, Ed. 8. No. 11. 



Fruit above the middle size, of an oblong figure, 

 slightly angular on its sides, tapering a little from the 

 base to the crown, which is rather narrow. Eye small,

 several obtuse plaits. Stalk half an inch long, slender, not 

 protruding beyond the base. Skin pale yellow, with a 

 few scattered greenish specks ; on the sunny side pale 

 dull brown. Flesh yellowish white. Juice sweetish, 

 or sub-acid, with a smart pungent flavour. 



An excellent culinary apple from October tilljanuary.
