82 APPLE. 



90. Breedon's Pippin. — A good apple, and fit for 

 the dessert during the two last months of the year. 

 The fruit is small, resembling the summer golden 

 pippin, but rather more flattened at the ends. 

 Colour, a light yellow tinged with red on the exposed 

 side ; pulp crisp, and charged with agreeable juice, 

 and may be pronounced one of the best of its season. 

 In growth the tree is similar to that of the old golden 

 pippin, and may rank in the same class in the orchard, 

 or for the like purposes in the garden. The tree 

 affects a light rich soil : in damp soils it is liable to 

 canker. 



91. Harvey^ s Pippin, — This is an old excel- 

 lent kitchen apple, in season from November to 

 February. The fruit is above the middle size, longer 

 than round : colour dark green, speckled with 

 brown, and in season faintly ruddy on the sun side. 

 The flesh is firm, white, and having a moderate share 

 of acidulous juice. It makes a hardy, first class 

 tree in the orchard ; is not nice as to soil, and 

 generally a good bearer. 



This apple, as before noticed, has been confounded 

 with Dredge's beauty : but the author is certain they 

 are decidedly distinct. The Harvey's pippin was in 

 existence in this country before Dredge's time ; and 

 as Dredge himself informed the author, above forty 

 years ago, he raised his beauty and two others 

 from the same sowing, both perfectly different from 

 the Harvey's pippin. 



92. Isle of Wight Pippin. — In use from October to 

 February, and well entitled to appear in the dessert.
