MANAGEMENT OF FRUIT TREES, &c. S9 



14. The Transparent Apple was introduced from St. Pe- 

 tersburg ; but is more curious than useful ; a tree or two, there- 

 fore, will be sufficient for a garden. It ripens in September 

 and October. 



15. Loan's Pearmain is a beautiful fruit; the side next 

 the sun is of a fine red, and the other side striped with the same 

 colour: the flesh has a vinous taste, but soon grows mealy, 

 which lessens its value. It ripens in September and October. 



16. The Quince Apple is seldom larger than the Golden 

 Pippin, and the side next the sun is of a russet colour. This 

 is an excellent apple for about three weeks or a month, and 

 ripens in September. 



17. The Nonsuch is a good bearer, and very fit either 

 for the table or kitchen; the cooks however complain that it 

 makes but a very small proportion of sauce. It is ripe in Sep- 

 tember and Oc ober. 



18. The Golden Rennet is too well known to need any 

 description ; it ripens about Michaelmas, and will continue 

 good a month. 



19. The Aromatic Pippin is a very good apple, of a bright 

 russet next the sun ; and the flesh has a fine aromatic flavour. 

 It ripens in October. 



20. The Herefordshire Pearmain, or Winter Pearmain, 

 is of a fine red next the sun, and striped with red on the other 

 side ; the flesh is juicy and stews well. It is fit for use in No- 

 vember and December. 



21. The Kentish Pippin is a handsome fruit, of a pale 

 green colour, and the flesh full of a quick acid juice. This is 

 a good kitchen fruit ; it ripens in November and v/ill keep till 

 February. 



22. The Holland Pippin. This fruit is larger than the 

 former, the colour darker, and the flesh juicy. It ripens in 

 October, and will keep long, and is a good kitchen apple. 



23. The Monstrous Rennet is a very large apple, turning 

 red towards the sun, and of a dark green on the other side. 

 It is generally preserved on account of its magnitude, as the 

 flesh is apt to be mealy. It ripens in October. 



24. The Embroidered Apple is pretty large and the stripes 

 of red very broad, from which circumstance it takes its name. 

 It is commonly used as a kitchen apple, and is ripe in Octo- 

 ber. 



25. The Royal Russet, or Leather Coat Russet is a large 

 fruit, and one of the best kitchen apples that we have. It is 

 also a pleasant eating apple, and a great bearer ; and is in use 

 from October to April,
