SPICY GLOBE APPLE. 
valuable new varieties which have been raised in various locali- 
ties, and are unknown beyond its narrow boundaries. Although 
our enquiries have extended over many parts of the kingdom, 
still, it is certain that many excellent seedling Apple and Pear 
trees exist where they have been raised, and are unknown 
beyond the garden or farm which gave them life; we therefore 
earnestly solicit eveiy one, in the name of patriotism and philan- 
thropy, to inform us of the existence of any that are of superior 
quality, and of local cultivation. 
The Spicy Globe Apple isone of these local vaineties, unknown 
to fame beyond the neighbourhood in which it originated, — 
Chaddesley Corbett, in the county of "Worcester. For our know- 
ledge of it we are indebted to the obliging attentions of a gentle- 
man residing in the immediate vicinity, — the Rev. J. Bi'ownlow, 
of Haiwington, whose exertions, in collecting and distributing 
the finest sorts, are operating very beneficially on those who 
reside near him. 
The Spicy Globe is handsome; it has a clear, yellow-green 
skin ; is slightly specked, and on the exposed side, brightened by 
an orange tint, specked and pencilled with deep red ; and a few 
russetty lines and touches are generally found irregularly dis- 
persed over its deeper coloured portions. Eye, small ; in a 
narrow bason, lined with fine plaits ; the calyx short and con- 
nivent. Stem, long, thin, and inserted in a narrow cavity. 
Flesh yellowish-white, mild, and easily breaking ; juicy, and 
moderately sweet ; possessing an exceedingly pleasant, spicy, 
clove-lilie, fragrance. 
The Apple ripens early, is equally suitable for the dessert, 
or kitchen use ; and at the time our drawing was made, in 
November, was in high perfection. The tree, although quite 
free from canker, is of small growth, and well suited for dwarf 
culture ; one of those varieties that may, even without the ap- 
plication of peculiar treatment, be kept in efficient bearing at 
three feet high.
