 Forsyth, Ed. 3. No. 1 25. 



Fruit middle-sized, oblong, irregularly formed. Eye 

 very large, deeply sunk, in an uneven, oblique hollow. 

 Stalk rather short, not deeply inserted. Skin greenish 

 yellow ; on the sunny side of a brownish red, streaked 

 with a darker colour. Flesh white, very firm. Juice 

 abundant, and of a very excellent flavour. 



A dessert apple from October till March. 



Its name seems to indicate a Norfolk origin ; but 

 I never could find it in any part of the county.

 thick, inserted without any cavity, but connected by a 

 projecting lip on one side, similar to that of the Lemon 

 Pippin. Skin pale dull green, sprinkled with specks of 

 darker green imbedded in the skin ; on the sunny side 

 it is tinged with pale brown, interspersed with slight 

 streaks of a darker colour. Flesh greenish, white, firm. 

 Juice sub-acid, without any apparent saccharine pro- 

 perty. 



A very excellent culinary apple from November till 

 April.
