APPliES. 65 



"GEEEN WOODCOCK (Woodcock).— Fmii, medium sized; round 

 and somewhat flattened. Skin, green, changing to yellow with a blush of 

 red, which is striped with broad broken streaks of dark red on the side 

 next the sun. Eye, open, with long pointed segments, deeply set in 

 an angular basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a shallow cavity, lined with 

 rough russet, which extends over the base. Flesh, white, tinged with 

 green, tender, juicy, and briskly flavoured. 



A good culinary apple ; in use from October till Christmas. 



This is very much grown about Healhfield and Hailsham, in Sussex. 



GREENUP'S PIPPIN.— Fruit, above medium size, three inches 

 wide, and two and a half high ; roundish, broadest at the base, and 

 with a prominent rib on one side, extending from the base to the crown. 

 Skin, smooth, pale straw coloured tinged with green on the shaded 

 side, but covered with beautiful bright red on the side next the sun, 

 and marked with several patches of thin delicate russet. Eye, closed, 

 with long flat segments, placed in a round, rather deep, and plaited 

 basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a wide cavity. Flesh, pale, 

 yellowish white, tender, juicy, sweet, and briskly flavoured. 



An excellent apple, either for culinary or dessert use. 



In the northern counties it is a popular and highly esteemed variety, 

 and ranks as a first-rate fruit. It is in use from October to December. 



The tree is hardy and healthy ; it does not attain a large size, but is 

 an abundant bearer. When grown against a wall, as it is sometimes 

 in the north of England and border counties, the fruit attains a large 

 size, and is particularly handsome and beautiful. 



This excellent apple was discovered growing in the garden of a shoemaker at 

 Keswick, named Greenup, and was first cultivated and made public by Clarke and 

 Atkinson, nurserymen at that place, in the end of last century. It is now much 

 cultivated throughout the border counties, and is a valuable apple where the more 

 choice varieties do not attain perfection.

 tender, very juicy, and of a rich, vinous, sugary, and aromatic flavour. 



An excellent apple of first-rate quality, desirable either for the dessert 

 or for culinary purposes ; it is in use from September to January.
