BESS POOEE APFEE 
IIE Apple here figured is, in some parts of 
f England, but little known ; and it is probable, 
from descriptions which we have received of 
it, that two varieties have been confounded 
< under its name. The figure now published 
will, it is hoped, assist in determining the 
variety to which it should alone bo applied. 
In the Horticultural Society's excellent Catalogue it is called 
a kitchen Apple. For culinary pui-poses it is well suited, hut it 
is also an excellent dessert fruit, and continues good till April. 
A correspondent of the Gardeners' Chronicle — a resident ol 
Nottingham, says “In this county, where it was originally raised, 
the Bess Poole is considered a valuable table Apple, when almost 
all others are gone by. It is certainly not a crisp Apple, but if 
brought in good condition to the table (which requires little care)
