Account of some Apples. 



cell. Their names are derived from Ingestrie, (pronounced 

 Ingstre) the seat of the Earl Talbot, in Staffordshire. 



The Grange Apple. A fruit of great beauty, and similar 

 in colour to a very fine Golden Pippin ; it ripens early in 

 October, but remains sound till February. 



The Downton Pippin. I have already sent a description 

 and sample of this Apple to the Horticultural Society.* It is 

 equally well calculated for the desert, the press, and for every 

 culinary purpose, where a large size is not required ; and I 

 do not know any Apple which can be brought to market, at 

 any given price, with so much advantage to the cultivator. 

 Many of the grafts I send, if inserted in situations properly 

 exposed to the sun, will afford fruit next sea son. f- 



The Brindgzvood Pippin. Of this variety I have only seen a 

 few Apples, which were very acid when taken from the tree, 

 though apparently quite ripe, but became very excellent in 

 February. Its form and character are those of a large and 

 flat Golden Pippin, with russet stripes. The growth and ap- 

 pearance of the" original tree induced me to suppose, that this 

 variety will prove very productive and valuable. % 



The JFormsky Pippin. This Apple ripens in the end of 

 October, and many of my friends think it the best Apple of 

 its season. It is very large, and in the consistence, and 

 juiciness of its pulp, it more nearly resembles the New Town 

 Pippin of America, than any other Apple with which I am 

 acquainted.

t These four varieties sprang from the same parents— from the seed of t 

 Orange Pippin and the pollen of the Golden Pippin. The original trees 

 at Wormsley Grange, in Herefordshire. 



| This variety sprang from the Golden Pippin and Golden Harvey.
