58 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



Glory of Flanders. See Brabant Bellefleur. 



GLOEY OF THE WE§T. — Fruit, large, three inches and a quarter 

 broad, and two inches and three quarters high; oblate, ridged and 

 angular about the eye, and ribbed on the sides. Skin, smooth and 

 shining, yellow, mixed in some parts with a tinge of green, and washed 

 with thin clear red on the side next the sun ; the whole surface is 

 strewed with minute russety dots, and several large dark spots, such as 

 are often met with on the Hawthornden. Eye, large, with long seg- 

 ments, and set in an angular basin. Stalk, three quarters of an inch 

 long, inserted in a deep cavity, which is surrounded with a large patch 

 of rough grey russet. Flesh, yellowish white, firm but tender, very 

 juicy, with a pleasant, brisk, and slightly perfumed flavour. 



A cuHnary apple of first quality ; it is in use the end of October and 

 continues till Christmas. The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, 

 attaining a great size, and is an excellent bearer. 



I had this rai'iety from the late Mr. James Lake, of Bridgewater, and it 

 is evidently identical with the Glory of the West of Diel, a name which, according 

 to Lindley, is sometimes applied to the Dutch Codlin. The variety here described 

 bears a considerable resemblance to that known by the name of Turk's Cap.

Glory of York. See Bibston Pippin. 



GOGAR PIPPIN (Stone Pippin). — Fruit, medium sized ; roundish, 

 obscurely angled, and slightly fiattened. Skin, thick and membranous, 

 pale green, strewed all over with small russety dots, and faintly mottled 

 with a tinge of brownish red next the sun. Eye, small and closed, set 

 in a narrow, shallow, and plaited basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a very 

 shallow cavity. Flesh, greenish white, tender, juicy, sugary, and brisk. 



A dessert apple of second-rate quality ; in use from January to March. 



This variety is of Scotch origin, and is said to have originated at Gogar, near 

 Edinburgh. 



Golden Apple. See Oslin. 



Golden Drop. See Court of Wick. 



GOLDEN HARVEY {Brandy Apple; Bound Busset Harvey).— 

 Frnit, small, oblato-cylindrical, even, and free from angles. Skin, 

 entirely covered with rough scaly russet, with sometimes a patch of the 

 yellow ground colour exposed on the shaded side, and covered with 

 brownish red on the side next the sun. Eye, small and open, with very 

 short, reflexed segments, set in a wide, shallow, and slightly plaited 

 basin. Stalk, half an inch long, inserted in a shallow cavity. Flesh, 

 yellow, firm, crisp, juicy, sugary, with an exceedmgly rich and powerful 

 aromatic flavour. 



This is one of the richest and most excellent dessert apples ; it is in 

 use from December to May, but is very apt to shrivel if exposed to 

 light and air, as most russety apples are.
