APPLES. 75 



This very valuable apple was raised, in 1803, from a 

 kernel of the Newtown Pippin, by Mrs.Malcolm, the lady 

 of NeiFMalcolm, Esq., of Lamb Abbey, in Kent. At six 

 years old it produced three apples, at nine years seven 

 dozen, and from that time it has regularly produced 

 good crops.

Lemon Pippin. Forsyth, Ed. 3. No. 102. 1 



Fruit middle-sized, oval, very regularly formed, 

 without angles, about two inches and three quarters in 

 diameter, and three inches deep. Eye small, open, 

 with a very short slender calyx, slightly depressed. 

 Stalk short, fleshy, curved inwards, and forming a con- 

 tinuance of the fruit, in the manner of a lemon ; hence 

 its name. Skin pale yellowish green, becoming yellow 

 when ripe, with neither red nor russet. Flesh firm, 

 breaking. Juice not abundant, nor high flavoured, but 

 very pleasant. 



A dessert fruit from October till March. 



A very hardy orchard apple ; the tree grows erect, 

 very regularly formed, and handsome, and is a most 

 excellent bearer. 



146. NEW ROCK PIPPIN. Hort.Trans. Vol. v.p.269. 

 Fruit of the Nonpareil kind, but less regular in shape, 



and the eye sunk a little deeper. Stalk short. Skin 

 of a dull green on the shaded side ; on the part exposed 

 to the sun it becomes brown, with a slight tinge of red, 

 and the whole surface sprinkled with russet. Flesh 

 yellow, firm, not very juicy, but rich and sweet, with a 

 fine anise perfume. 



A dessert apple from November till April. 



Raised by Mr. Pleasance, of Barnwell, near Cam- 

 bridge. It keeps late in the spring, and is then hardly 

 surpassed by any of the old varieties. Exhibited at 

 the Horticultural Society, November 20, 1821.
