Account of Norman Apple 



resembling the Nonpareille in appearance. Not near ripe; 

 promises to be a fine late Apple. 



10. Reinette blanche. Small, conical, pale green, spotted with 

 dark green or brown. Not ripe. (Very good 31st J anuary.) 



KITCHEN APPLES. 



11. Fleur de Mai. Large, irregular, conical ; green, rusty. 

 Much resembling the Apple which Biggs calls the Leather 

 Coat. Middling. 



12. Palestine. Rather large, roundish-ovate. Eye open. 

 Green, streaked with dull pale red, and spotted with 

 blackish-brown. Requires keeping. Boils well. 



13. Bayeux. Large, roundish oval ; deep red, with streaks 

 and spots on the sunny side. Tolerably good. 



14. Calville blanche. The Calville blanche of Duhamel ; 

 well known. Pleasant flavour ; rather spicy. 



15. Reinette de Caux. The Grosse Reinette rouge tiquetee of 

 Poiteau and Turpin, is said to be called by many gar- 

 deners Reinette de Caux ; and although the delineation is 

 much larger than any of our present specimens, I am in- 

 clined to believe it is the same variety. Large, round, red, 

 with a considerable portion of russet. Tolerably good. 



16. Reinette rayie. Not unlike our Nonesuch, in form and 

 colour. Spotted with red and blackish spots. Flesh 

 melting, and of a pleasant flavour. 



17. Quatre Gouts. Something like our Queening. Angular, 

 yellowish green, streaked with deep red. Over ripe. 



18. Coustard. Large, conical, ribbed, pale green dotted. 

 Not unlike the Greasy Pippin of Covent Garden. Re- 

 quires keeping. Fine acid when boiled or roasted.
