 To give a complete history of each of the New Apples 

 above mentioned is out of my power : they have all been 

 raised by other gardeners, from whom we may rather expect 

 it : in the mean while, however, the following descriptions 

 will perhaps suffice to make those which appear to me the 

 best, more known. 



Williams's Pippin. Size, from two inches to two inches and 

 a half long. Colour, pale yellow, with a little red on the sunny 

 side, and here and there a spot. Shape, somewhat conical, 

 scarcely longer than broad, deeply umbilicated at the stalk 

 which is short, hollow at the top ; the leaflets of the calyx, 

 though black and dry, still remaining more perfect than in 

 many. Flesh, pale yellow, soft, excellent to eat ripe from 

 the tree, baking and roasting well till Christmas. 



Padley's Pippin. Size, from two to three inches in length. 

 Colour, rich yellow, generally very finely laced all over with 

 a pale rough starry bark, if I may use the term. Shape, oval, 

 about the stalk flat, or often a little prominent on one side, 

 not much depressed about the calyx, which is more oblite- 

 rated than in many others, perhaps from that circumstance. 

 Flesh, firm and juicy, of a rich perfumed and poignant fla- 

 vour, in high perfection all December and January. I am 

 inclined to think this the very best of our new Apples.
