Cellini is a good apple, fit to use in October. Blen- 

 heim Pippin is the same as Blenheim Orange. The 

 "Waltham Abbey Seedling is a large, handsome apple, 

 useful from September to January. It is yellow and 

 showy, a little like the Golden jN'oble. The Bedford-

 The flesh is yellow, and the pulp gives a fine golden 

 tint to the cider ; besides that, the fruit is excellent in 

 flavour. The Golden Harvey, or Brandy Apple, is said
