EXPLANATION OF PLATES. 



FRONTISPIECE. 



The apples are selected from three well-known varieties to show Pit and "crinkle" in the 



same variety. 

 London Pippin or Five Crown. The pitted specimen was obtained from Deepdene. 



Contrary to the usual experience of orchardists, this tree only bore pitted fruit, 



and a longitudinal section of the apple is shown in Fig. 14. The crinkled specimen 



was obtained at Box Hill. 



Rome Beauty. Both specimens were obtained at Ring wood. Sections of pitted and 

 crinkled specimens are shown in Fig. 18. The dark green depressions are numerous 

 towards the "eye" end, and most irregular in shape. 



Jonathan. These apples were obtained at Box Hill, the one showing Pit, and the other 

 with dark blotches run together. They are shown in section in Fig. 73.
