MANAGEMENT OF FRUIT TREES, &c. 41 



It keeps the longest of any apple that we know, being in eating 

 from April to Christmas. 



37. The Pomme Gree^, a fine apple from Canada, is of 

 a flattish form, and russet colour, streaked beautifully with red. 

 It ripens late and keeps till March. 



38. Sykehouse Russet, a fine eating apple, from Syke- 

 house, in Yorkshire. 



39. The Godolphin Apple is a very handsome large fine 

 fruit, streaked with red on the side next the sun, and of a yel- 

 lowish colour on the other side. It is in eating from the lattt-r 

 end of September to December. I found this apple growing 

 in the garden of the late Lord Godolphin, in St. James's Park ; 

 and have given it the name of the Godolphin Apple, as I have 

 not been able to find it in any catalogue. 



40. Pearson's Pippin is a nice apple, about the size of a 

 large Golden Pippin, of a yellowish colour, and the form a 

 little flat. In Devonshire, they put these pippins into the oven 

 just after the bread is drawn, laying a weight over them to flat- 

 ten them, in the same manner as they do the Beefin inNorfolk, 

 and bring them to table as a sweetmeat. I brought some cut- 

 tings of this tree from Nutwell near Exeter, which I grafted on 

 some trees in Kensington Gardens. 



41. The New-Town Pippin is a fine apple in a good sea- 

 son ; but seldom ripens with us. It is held in great esteem in 

 America. 



42. Feam's Pippin is of the shape and size of a Nonpa- 

 reil. It is of a beautiful scarlet colour next the sun, and of a 

 golden yellow on the other side. It makes a fine show at table, 

 and .vill keep till the latter end of February. 



43. Hay's Fine Large Baking Apple. 



44. Queen's Apple is a beautiful fruit, red towards the 

 sun, and of a fine yellow on the other side. This is a very 

 fine apple ; in my opinion, next in perfection to the Golden 

 Pippin, and about the same size. It is in eating from Novem- 

 ber to the end of March. 



The above are the best apples that have come to my know- 

 ledge ; but, for the convenience of those who are fond of great 

 variety, I shall add a few, with their characters, from the 

 catalogue of Messrs. Anderson, Leslie and Co. Nursery- 

 men at Edinburgh ; and also a list collected from the cata- 



• The Pomme Gree was introduced into this country by Mr. Alexander 

 Barclay, of Brompton, well known for his ingenuity in bleaching of wax. 

 He is a great lover of horticulture, and has raised several new sorts of goose- 

 facrvies from seed.
