APPLE. 87 



pippins has been called the Hampshire — a palpable 

 mistake. This is also called provincially Jones's 

 Southampton Pippin. 



101. Aromatic Pippin, — In season from November 

 to February, The fruit is rather above the middle 

 size, round and rather flat : the stalk is short, the 

 eye small, and both seated in deep cavities. The 

 colours are, a deep red on the exposed side, and 

 greenish brown on the shaded side. The pulp is 

 yellow and crisp, the juice plentiful, and of a fine 

 aromatic flavour, whence its name. The tree makes 

 one of the second class in the orchard, and is gene- 

 rally a good bearer. It is the same apple which is 

 called The Cornish Aromatic Pippin. 



102. Downton Pippin » — In perfection from No- 

 vember to January. This is the best apple that has 

 yet been i^ai^^d by Mr. Knight by means of artificial 

 impregnation. It was produced by the ttnion of the 

 orange and golden pippins, and i« certainly a great 

 acquisition to our table fruits. The fruit is a little 

 larger than the oW golden pippin, somewhat flat at 

 the ends : the stalk is short, and the eye hollow. 

 The colour is a light yellow, deepening as it ripens. 

 The skin is smooth, and pounced with specks. The 

 pulp is firm, and charged with a fine-flavoured 

 juice. It makes a good standard of the second class, 

 and beautiful compact dwarfs on the borders of the 

 garden. It is also desirable for cider, and the 

 market gardener. 



103. Court of Wick Pippin. — Ripens in the middle 

 of November, and keeps till the beginning of March.
