and, when perfectly ripe, full of uncommonly rich 

 juice. 



The tree forms a handsome standard of the second 

 class ; shoots strong and upright ; usually covered 

 with thickly-clustered flowers, which resist spring 

 frosts better than many others. It is equally eligible 

 for garden culture on the paradise stock, either for 

 dwarfs or espaliers. If planted too deep, or if the 

 roots penetrate into a moist subsoil, the canker ap-

 are in Kent, the tree remains healthy, and bears 

 well. This apple always commands a high price at 

 market, and therefore should always have a place in 

 the collection of the market gardener. 



118. Kirke's Golden Reinetie, — Is in season from 

 November to January. This variety was introduced 

 by the nurseryman whose name it bears. How it 

 was obtained is not made public; but it is certainly 

 different from the old one, both in habit and size of 

 fruit. It requires the same treatment, and is suit-

119. Autumn Reinetie, — Fit for use from October 

 to February. The fruit is of the middle size, rather 

 oval, and of a mottled-red next the sun ; the shaded 

 side yellow, when ripe. The pulp is crisp, and

 healthy, and a good bearer either on the crab or 

 paradise stock. It ranges in the second class, and 

 is very suitable for dwarf training. 



120. Monstrous Reinette. — Keeps from the end of 

 November till March. This variety is of Freucb
