wliich is its greatest excellence ; beinf^ particularly 

 acceptable in th^ dessert at that season. 



This apple is much cultivated in Sussex, chiefly 

 for the Loudon market, where it meets a ready sale. 



114. Farhigh Pippin, — Usable from November 

 to March. This is a favourite Kentish sort, raised 

 in the village whence it is named. The fruit is 

 middle sized, oval, somewhat angular ; the colour 

 light green, turning to a golden hue when ripe. The 

 pulp is very firm, the juice rich, and worthy a place 

 in the dessert. It is also acceptable to the confec- 

 tioner, and makes excellent cider. It is an up- 

 right growing tree, and in height ranges in the 

 first class. It is also easily trained as an espalier, 

 and being an excellent bearer cannot be too strongly 

 recommended to the market gardener. 



The Farleigli pippin has been used instead of the 

 golden pippin for the manufacture of superior cider ; 

 and has been said to yield liquor of equal quality, if 

 the fruit were used before they were quite ripe. 



115. Robinson's Pippin. — Fit for use in December, 

 and keeps till May. This fruit is small, oval, and 

 flat at the ends. The colour dark green russet, 

 afterwards yellow. The pulp is free and juicy; 

 more or less acid according to the season. The tree 

 is of small growth, and belongs to the third class 

 in the orcliard, but better adapted for dwarf training 

 in the garden. It is but a shy bearer. 



This variety originated in- the Turnham Green 

 Nursery, either in the time of Scott (of whom Justice 

 of Edinburgh makes honourable mention), or in that
