Hardingham's Eusset. See Pine Apple Russet. 



HAKYEY'S PIPPIN {Dredge's Beauty of TFiZts).— Fruit, medium 

 sized; roundish. Skin, yellow on the shaded side, but washed mth 

 fine red on the side next the sun, and marked with crimson dots. 

 Flesh, firm, crisp, juicy, and richly flavoured. 



An excellent and useful apple, either for culinary purposes or dessert 

 use ; it is in season from December to February. 



The tree is a free grower and an excellent bearer ; it attains above 

 the middle size, and may be grown either as an open dwarf or an 

 espalier, when grafted on the paradise stock. 



HAEYEY'S WILTSHIEE DEFIANCE.— Fruit, of the largest 

 size ; conical, and very handsomely shaped, distinctly five-sided, 

 having five prominent and acute angles descending from the apex, till 

 they are lost in the base. Skin, fine deep sulphur yellow ; of a deeper 

 shade on the side which is exposed to the sun, and covered aU over 

 with minute russety dots, with here and there ramifying patches of 

 russet. Eye, pretty large and open, with short ragged segments, and 

 set in a rather shallow and angular basin. Stalk, very short, about 

 half an inch long, and not extending beyond the base, inserted in a 

 round and deep cavity, lined with rough scaly russet, which branches 

 out over a portion of the base. Flesh, yellowish, firm, crisp, and 

 juicy, sugary, vinous, and richly flavoured. Core, very small for the 

 size of the apple. 



A very handsome and most desirable apple, being of first-rate quality, 

 either as a dessert or culinary fruit ; it is in use from the end of Oc- 

 tober to the beginning of January. 



This variety seems to be comparatively little known, but it is well 

 deserving the notice either of the fruit gardener or the orchardist ; to 

 the latter particularly so, as its size, fine appearance, and handsome 

 shape make it attractive at market, and its solid and weighty flesh 

 give it an advantage over many apples of its size. 



HAUTE BONTE. — Fruit, medium sized; roundish, somewhat 

 ribbed on the sides, and flattened at both ends ; broadest at the base, 

 and narrowing towards the apex, which is terminated by prominent 

 ridges. Skin, smooth and shining, green at first, but changing to 

 yellow as it ripens, and with a faint tinge of red on liie side exposed to 

 the sun. Eye, half open, with long acuminate segments, set in a deep 

 and angular basin. Stalk, half an inch long, inserted in a deep and 

 irregular cavity. Flesh, greenish white, tender, juicy, sugary, rich, 

 brisk, and aromatic. 



An excellent dessert apple of first-rate quality when grown to per- 

 fection ; it is in use from January to May. 



This is a variety of the Eeinette Qrise, and a very old French apple.
