6. QUEEN CHARLOTTE. 
A dessert apple, brought into this country from Germany, with the BorsdorfFer, by 
the late Queen Charlotte: it is of a conical form; green colour, with a facing of 
brown tint; has a brisk and pleasant flavour, which it preserves till March or April. 
The tree seldom blights or cankers, and bears plentifully, 
7. KEDLESTON PIPPIN. 
A Derbyshire table apple, of middle size; straw colour, slightly russeted; of a glo¬ 
bular shape, rather pointed towards the eye. It is a highly flavoured juicy fruit, and 
has the peculiar property of keeping in perfection from October till January. The 
tree grows well, and bears freely. 
8. KING GEORGE THE THIRD, OR BORSDORFFER. 
A dessert apple, brought from Germany by the late Queen Charlotte on her first arrival 
in England, and planted hy the late Mr. Alton in Kew Gardens, where the original 
tree now stands, and bears abundantly. It is rather larger than the Golden Pippin ; 
a beautiful fruit, of a clear yellow on the shaded, and full red with a little russet on 
the exposed, side: very firm in texture, fine flavour, and keeps well till March or 
April. The tree is diffuse in its growth, blossoms late, and bears sparingly till it has 
been four or five years planted, after which it seldom fails. 
9. POWELL’S RUSSET. 
A very pretty dessert apple, in shape like the Nonpareil, but smaller ; of a beautiful 
light brown russet; the flesh is brisk, highly flavoured, and of remarkably close 
texture:—will keep as long as the Nonpareil. The tree grows in a light rather up¬ 
right form, and is a good bearer.
