Notices of New or Remarkable 



Apples. 



Mr. Hugh Ronalds sent specimens of the Early Julien 

 Applet very excellent early variety, ripening in the beginning 

 of August. It is of the middle size, of an irregular globose 

 form, with numerous ribs, or angles on the sides, which be- 

 come quite prominent round the eye ; skin a uniform pale 

 yellow. Flesh approaching to yellow, firm and crisp, with a 

 pleasant brisk juice, having much the highest flavour of any 

 of the very early Apples. Mr. Ronalds received the tree 

 from Scotland. 



Mr. John Wilmot, sent specimens of the Gravenstein 

 Apple, the produce of a tree imported from Holland. This is 

 esteemed the best Apple in Germany and the Low Countries, 

 and is well entitled to the high reputation it has acquired. 

 It is about the size of the Ribston Pippin, and not very un- 

 like it in form. The skin is a pale green, with dotted stripes 

 of red on the exposed side. Flesh of a greenish yellow, crisp, 

 with a rich and high flavoured juice. It ripens in the autumn, 

 but will keep well till April, and may fairly be considered a 

 rival to our Ribston Pippin. 



Mr. Hugh Ronalds exhibited specimens, at the end of 

 September, of a small dessert Apple of great excellence, called 

 Brookes s Apple. It is shaped like a Pearmain, but is a little 

 more pointed at the eye, being almost conical. Skin green, 

 covered with scarlet on the exposed side, and slightly rus- 

 setted. Flesh yellow, crisp, very sweet and high flavoured. 

 In eating in the autumn, but will keep till late in the spring. 

 The kind is well known in Shropshire, where it is much es- 

 teemed.
