Fruit, small, two inches and a half wide, and two inches and a quarter

 low, tinged and mottled with red on the side exposed to the sun, and 

 strewed with numerous pearly specks. Eye, small, set in a wide and 

 even basin. Stalk, short and slender, inserted in a small and shallow

A dessert apple of first-rate quality ; in use during October and 

 November. 



This excellent little apple was raised by Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq., 

 firom the seed of the Orange Pippin impregnated with the Golden Pippin, 

 about the year 1800. It, and the Yellow Ingestrie, were the produce of 

 two pips taken from the same cell of the core. The original trees are 

 still in existence at Wormsley Grange, in Herefordshire.

 Figure. — ^Pom. Heref. t. 4. 



Fruit, nearly, if not quite, the largest cider apple cultivated in Here- 

 fordshire. It is rather broad and flattened, a little irregular at its base, 

 which is hollow. Stalk, slender. Crown, sunk. Eye, deep, with a stout 

 erect calyx. Skin, greenish-yellow on the shaded side, with a deep rosy 

 color where exposed to the sun, and shaded with a darker red. — Lindley. 



The Red Must has at all periods been esteemed a good cider apple, 

 though the ciders lately made with it, unmixed with other apples, have 

 been light, and thin ; and I have never found the specific gravity of its 

 expressed juice to exceed 1064. — Knight.
