Notices of new or remarkable 



Mr. Patrick Flanagan, gardener to Sir Thomas Hare, 

 at Stowe Hall, Norfolk, exhibited specimens of an Apple 

 called by him the Golden Noble. It is of large size, round, 

 becoming a little pointed towards the eye, which is small 

 and not deeply sunk, surrounded by several small folds. 

 Stalk quite short, and thickened, like that of the Kerry 

 Pippin. Skin perfectly smooth, of a clear bright yellow 

 colour, without any blush of red, but having a few small 

 reddish spots, and generally two or three small round patches 

 of russet. The flesh is yellow, tender, with a pleasant acid 

 juice. It bakes of a fine clear amber colour, perfectly melt- 

 ing, with a rich acidity. It is a first-rate kitchen Apple. 

 Mr. Flanagan obtained his plant from an old tree in a gar- 

 den in the neighbourhood of Downham, where it is believed 

 to be a seedling. It is of vigorous growth, healthy, and 

 bears well. 



Harry Dobree, Esq. sent to the Society specimens of a 

 Seedling Apple, raised by the late Charles Mollet, Esq. 

 in his garden in the island of Guernsey. It sprang up from 

 a seed of the Golden Pippin, but closely resembles the 

 Golden Harvey. The flesh is yellow, crisp, juicy, and very 

 high flavoured. It has been named Mollet t J s Guernsey Pippin, 

 and is a superior Apple for the dessert. 



The experience which has been "obtained in this and two 

 preceding seasons of the habit of the Alexander Apple tree 

 renders some notice of it necessary, to correct what was 

 said of it in a former part of the Transactions* It is there 

 conjectured that it might be necessary to train the plant to 

 a wall, in some measure to compensate for the want of the
