" MESSRS. J. BASHAM б SONS have decided to distribute stock of their 
"a seedling apple, St. Cecilia, in autumn, 1919. This is one of the very best dessert 
f apples that has been offered for many years. The trees are of robust and sturdy 
| growth, a regular and heavy bearer, and the fruit is of brilliant crimson colour, 
medium size, and of excellent quality; season, January and February, 
and a limited number of 4 year, 
0/- each, all on paradise. 
The “ Sa one Chronicle,” February 2, 
1918, says:— 
The new dessert Apple, St. Cecilia, 
was raised from Cox's Orange Pippin 
rate quality, keeping longer than Cox’s 
fruits shown at the R.H.S. Exhibition 
on January 15 by Messrs. John Basham 
ons were solid and juicy, without 
deeply set and somewhat slender. The 
Бо shows the fruits in their 
natural size. The variety will prove a 
valuable addition to late dessert Apples, 
and a successor to Cox’s Orange Pippin.
