PLATE XV. 
1. BEAUTV OF KENT. 
A large apple of a pyramidal shape, with ribs enlarging towards the eye; its colour 
yellow, enriched with bright red stripes and irregnlar discolorations on the sun side. 
This is a beautiful and much esteemed sauce apple, in use through November, 
December, and January.—A strong spreading grower, but apt to canker if not in 
congenial soil. 
2. FLOWER OF KENT. 
A large and elegant fruit, perhaps excelling the preceding; globular, but rather 
broadest at the base ; the eye is large and open ; colour yellow, flushed with bright 
red: the flesh is well flavoured, with plenty of acid and juice; bakes well, and is 
in use through November and December. 
The tree grows well, and is hardier than the Beauty of Kent. Blossoms white, with 
blush.
