PLATE V. 
1. WILMOT’S SEEDLING. 
Raised by Mr. James Wilmot, of Isleworth : it is above the medium size, of a conical 
form, the eye moderately sunk in a small even cavity; of a straw colour, variegated 
with light red streaks. This is an excellent early sauce apple, ripening in July and 
August, very firm, fragrant, and juicy. The tree grows upright and strong, with un¬ 
commonly large leaves, which, when the fruit is ripe, have a mellow autumnal 
appearance. 
2. RED ASTRACHAN. 
Is of the medium size, nearly globular, of a rich crimson colour, with a fine bloom 
covering nearly the whole of the fruit. This is a new and very early apple, ripening 
frequently in July, when it has few competitors : the flesh is white, crisp, juicy, and 
of agreeable flavour; the leaves are singularly long, and partake, with the branches, 
of a purple colour. 
Our figure is too large ; it was taken from an imported fruit. [Some dissimilarity 
will sometimes occur betwixt the description and the plate, owing to their being 
taken from different specimens, which often vary in size, shape, and colour.] 
3. ROWE’S SEEDLING. 
A very valuable Devonshire sauce apple; large, and of rather conical shape, with 
small prominences round the eye, of a pea-green colour: it has plenty of juice, and 
a very pleasant flavour: ripe in August and September. Is a great bearer, and the 
tree grows freely. 
4. SALOPIAN PIPPIN. 
A Shropshire apple, of middle size, introduced to the neighbourhood of London by 
the late Mr. Williams of Turnham Green: its shape globular, a little compressed; 
a pea-green colour, with a slight flush of pale red, and sprinkled over with brown 
spots: it has great merit as a sauce apple, as it dresses well, is juicy, and well- 
flavoured : in use from October till Christmas. The tree grows in a compact form, 
and is a constant bearer.
