ful when voung", but afterwards bears well. 0:i tlie 

 paradise stock it does well as a dwarf or espalier ; 

 and, when in fruit, is a fine ornament to a garden. 

 It has been long in the Southampton and other nur- 

 series. 



107. Kentish Pippin,^ Aw excellent culinary apple, 

 in use from November to February. The fruit is 

 large and longish, of an uneven surface; ^talk long 

 and slender ; eye small and close ; colour dull green,, 

 afterwards yellow 5 over the whole, brown spots are 

 scattered. The pulp is firm, and abounding in a 

 fine acid juice. In the orchard, the tree rises to be 

 one of the first class, and is always profitable if on 

 its favourite soil, viz, a moderate loamy soil on a 

 dry bottom. 



108. Holland Pippin, — Is in perfection from No- 

 vember to March. This is another good old apple, 

 cultivated in Kent ever since the beginning of the 

 last century. It is mentioned by both Langley and 

 Miller, who were contemporaries, but, it seems, not 

 friends : however, both speak well of the fruit. The 

 ajiple is large and roundish, of a dark-greenish yel- 

 low intermixed with russet next the sun, with a 

 faint dash of red ; yellow when fully ripe. The fiesh 

 is firm and breaking, the juice acid but rich, and 

 much esteemed for kitchen purposes. The tree is 

 similar in growth and other characteristics to the 

 preceding, and may be similarly treated in every 

 respect. 



There are two other apples commonly found in 

 Kentish orchards, viz, the Flanders Pippin, and the 

 Broad Eye Pippin^ along with the Holland pippin*
