APPLES. 163 



from December to April. The tree is a healthy and good grower, and 

 an excellent bearer. 



This variety is said to have originated from seed saved from an apple which 

 Lord Craven had eaten while on his travels from France to Holland, and which was 

 planted at Wyken, about two miles from Coventry. According to Mr. Lindley, 

 the original tree, then very old, was in existence in 1827, and presented the appear- 

 ance of an old trunk, with a strong sucker growing from its roots. 



Wyker Pippin. See Golden Reinette, 



YELLOW ELLIOT.— Fruit, of a good size, rather more flat than 

 long, having a few obtuse angles terminating in the crown. Eye, small, 

 with short diverging segment of the calyx. Stalk, short. Bkin, pale 

 yellow, slightly shaded with orange on the sunny side. 



Specific gravity of the juice, 1076. 



The cider of this apple in a new state is harsh and astringent, but 

 grows soft and mellow with age, and was much esteemed by the writers 

 of the seventeenth century. 



Yellow Harvest. See Early Harvest. 



YELLOW INGESTEIE.— Fruit, small, an inch and three quarters 

 wide, and ah inch and five-eighths high ; of a handsome cyhndrical 

 shape, flattened at both ends. Skin, smooth, of a fine clear yellow, 

 tinged with a deeper yellow on the side next the sun, and marked with 

 small pinky spots. Eye, small, and partially closed, set almost even 

 with the surface, but sometimes in a wide and shallow basin. Stalk, 

 from half an inch to three quarters long, set in a rather shallow and 

 smooth cavity. Flesh, yellow, firm, crisp, and delicate, with a pro- 

 fusion of brisk and highly flavoured vinous juice. 



A beautiful and delightfol little dessert apple of first-rate quality, 

 bearing a considerable resemblance to the Golden Pippin ; it is in use 

 during September and October. 



The tree is large, spreading, and an excellent bearer. 



This, and the Eed Ingestrie, were raised by T. A. Knight, Esq. 



YELLOW NEWTOWN PIPPIN {Large Yellow Newtown Pippin).— 

 Fruit, large, three inches and a half wide, and two inches and three 

 quarters high; roundish, irregular in its outline, and prominently 

 angled on the sides. Skin, of a uniform deep straw colour, which is 

 rather deeper and richer on the side next the sun than on the other, 

 and thinly covered with delicate reticulations of fine grey russet, inter- 

 spersed with several large dark spots. Eye, large and closed, vrith long 

 linear segments, set in a wide and irregular basin, from which issue 

 several deep russety furrows. Stalk, short, deeply inserted in an uneven 

 and angular cavity, which is partially lined with russet. Flesh, yellowish, 

 crisp, juicy, and slightly sub-acid, but with an agreeable flavour. 



A first-rate dessert apple ; in use from December to March, and 

 ripens better in this climate than the Newtown Pippin.
