PLATE XIV. 
1. KIRKE’S LORD NELSON. 
A very estimable and beautiful apple, either for sauce or the table, above the middle 
size, of a globular form, straw colour, three-fourths covered with bright red, a little 
striped: the flesh is firm, rich, and brisk, and bakes excellently; it is in season 
throughout the winter. This is reckoned one of our best winter sorts : it grows 
robust, and bears well. 
2. LONDON OR FIVE-CROWNED PIPPIN. 
So called from the five protuberances round the eye, which is prominent. It is of the 
medium size, straw colour, with crimson covering the greatest part of the fruit. 
This is a very useful sauce apple from December till March.—The tree grows large, is 
very durable, and bears plentifully. 
3. LUCOMBE’S SEEDLING. 
(Introduced by Mr. Lucombe of Exeter.) A fine large globular apple, with slightly 
projecting ribs, pea-green colour, lightly streaked and dotted with red. It is a noble 
sauce apple, ripe in November, December, and January, very juicy with a rather spicy 
flavour, and bakes well. 
The tree grows spreading and healthy. 
4. STRIPED HOLLAND PIPPIN. 
A fine large firm apple, of an oblong shape, yellow colour, richly striped with bright 
red; the flesh highly flavoured, and dissolves readily in baking: this sort keeps well 
through the winter.—The tree spreads much, grows freely, and bears plentifully, 
unless its beautiful deep red early blossoms are destroyed by frost. This is a very 
desirable kind.
