THE APPLE. 
the birth-place of the poet Drummond. It resembles, some* 
what, our Maiden’s Blush, but is inferior to that fruit in flavour. 
Fruit rather above the medium size, pretty regularly formed, 
roundish, rather flattened. Skin very smooth, pale, light yel- 
low, nearly white in the shade, with a fine blush where exposed 
to the sun. Calyx nearly closed, set in a rather shallow basin, 
with a few obscure plaits. Stalk half an inch long, slender. 
Flesh white, juicy, of a simple, pleasant flavour. An excellent 
bearer, a handsome fruit, and good for cooking or drying. The 
ends of the bearing branches become pendulous.
