268 Description of four New Apples. 



yellow, and faint red on the sunny side ; the glands on the 

 surface become dark, some of them quite black ; the stalk 

 is short, and not deeply inserted ; the flesh is greenish, rather 

 more inclined to yellow than that of the Nonpareil, and will 

 probably become more yellow as the tree advances in age ; 

 it is of a pleasant consistence and rich flavour, highly 

 charged with the peculiar aromatic perfume, which is the 

 characteristic of the Nonpareil. 



The second Apple I propose to call iheBraddick Nonpareil. 

 It was raised from a kernel by our active and zealous Mem- 

 ber, John Braddick, Esq. in his garden at Thames Ditton. 

 The Apple was tasted at the Meetings of the Society of the 

 20th of October, and the 3d of November last, and specimens 

 have kept to the present time, perfectly sound and firm. In 

 shape, it is flattened-globular, being three inches in its widest, 

 and two inches and a half in its shortest diameter, not much 

 lessened near the eye, and nearly flat at the stalk ; the eye 

 rather small, inserted in a somewhat deep and nicely rounded 

 cavity, almost without plait or wrinkle ; the skin is smooth, 

 greenish near the stalk, becoming tinted with yellowish brown, 

 and a considerable portion of brownish red on the part ex- 

 posed to the sun ; most of the specimens had a patch of fine 

 russet round the eye; the stalk is short and not deeply 

 inserted; the flesh yellowish, sweeter and more melting 

 than the Nonpareil, though not very soft, richly sugared, 

 and slightly aromatic. 



The Breed-on Pippin is the third. It was raised from a ker- 

 nel, sown with the Pommace, when some cyder was made, 

 about eighteen years ago, by the Rev. John Symonds 

 Breedon, D. D. at Bere Court, near Pangbourn, in Berk-
