strewed with large russet points, with a tinge of pale red on the side 

 next the sun, which is sometimes almost entirely covered with a bright 

 red cheek. Eye, large and open, with broad reflexed, acuminate seg- 

 ments, set in an irregular, uneven, and pretty deep basin. Stalk, half 

 an inch long, deeply inserted in a narrow and funnel-shaped cavity, 

 which is lined with russet. Flesh, yellowish white, firm, crisp, brisk, 

 and very juicy, with a slight aromatic flavour. 



One of the most valuable culinary apples ; it is in use from November 

 to March. The tree is one of the strongest, and most vigorous 

 growers, very hardy, and an excellent bearer. The young shoots, 

 which are long and stout, are thickly covered with large greyish white 

 dots, which readily distinguish this variety from almost every other. 



This excellent apple was raised by a person of the name of Dumeller (pro- 

 nounced Dumelow), a farmer at Shakerstone, a village in Leicestershire, six miles 

 from Ashby-de-la-Zouoh, and is extensively cultivated In that and the adjoining 

 counties under the names of Dumelow's Crab. It was first introduced to the 

 neighbourhood of London by Mr. Richard Williams, of the Turnham Green 

 Nursery, who received it from Gopsal Hall, the seat of Earl Howe, and presented 

 specimens of the fruit to the Horticultural Society in 1820. It was with him that 

 the name of Wellington Apple originated, and by which only it is now known in 

 the London markets. '
