APPLES. 79 



covered with a thin russet ; sometimes when highly 

 ripened it is tinged with a very pale brown on the sunny 

 side. Flesh very firm, crisp, of a pale green colour. 

 Juice not plentiful, but it is very rich and highly 

 flavoured. 



A very neat dessert apple from November till April. 



This excellent little sort is supposed to have origi- 

 nated at Oxnead, near Norwich, the seat of the Earl of 

 Yarmouth. It has been known for many years in 

 Norfolk, no doubt prior to the extinction of that peerage 

 in 1733, and I have never seen it out of the county. 

 The tree is a very small grower; its branches are small 

 and wiry, and of a grass-green colour : it is very hardy, 

 and an excellent bearer.

A dessert apple from November till April. 



This is a very handsome little apple, native of Jer- 

 sey, which keeps well to the end of the season, and 

 is extensively cultivated in that island. Specimens of 

 the fruit were sent to the Horticultural Society in 

 1820.
