Nouvelle Reinette dorde, ou Vomme Knight. This was 

 raised by M. Vilanfagne, a friend of Mr. Stoffels, 

 who wished to have it named in honour of the President of 

 the Horticultural Society of London. It has nothing of the 

 Reinette in its appearance, being a large globular Apple, 

 diminishing very little towards the eye. It is covered with 

 bright russet, without mixture of any other colour. The 

 flesh is firm, rich, and highly flavoured. 



Pomme de Wyneghem. Shape of a Nonpareil, but much 

 larger. The skin yellow, broadly striped with red, and a 

 little russetted round the stalk. The flesh yellowish, melting, 

 with a rich sweet juice in great abundance. 



Court-pendu plat Rougedtre. More flattened than the 

 yellow Court-pendu, which is common in the English gar- 

 dens. The red variety is remarkably regular and handsome 

 in form. The eye is placed in a very large even cavity ; 

 the stalk, which is unusually short, is deeply inserted. The 

 skin is a dull yellow on the shaded side, and very bright 

 red where exposed, through which appear a few small 

 yellowish spots. The flesh is yellow, very close at the core, 

 firm, and crisp, with abundance of rich sweet juice. A re- 

 markably handsome and excellent Apple. This variety is 

 found in great abundance in the neighbourhood of Maasijk. 

 There is a small variety of this, differing in nothing but the 

 size from that just described. 



Bellefleur Oblongue. A large conical Apple of very great 

 excellence for culinary purposes. The skin is pale yellow, 

 partially striped with red. It was raised from seed at Maasijk. 

 It does not differ much from the Old Bellefleur figured in
