PLATE XIX. 
1. DUKE OF WELLINGTON, or DUMELOW’S SEEDLING. 
A capital kitchen apple, above the middle size, of a globular shape, clear yellowish 
white colour, with a bright cherry cheek without streaks or any unevenness of 
surface. It is a weighty apple, of crisp consistence, and sweet with a due portion of 
acid. In use from November till March. 
The tree grows large and spreading. 
2. TOM POTTER. 
A much esteemed Devonshire apple, of middle size, contracted about the eye, which 
is in a small cavity and surrounded by wrinkles; the ground colour yellow, richly 
striped, and blotched with bright red. It is a juicy high-flavoured table apple, ripe 
in September and October. A healthy-growing tree, but rather uncertain in bearing. 
3. CORNISH AROMATIC. 
A kitehen apple, said to have been cultivated for some centuries in Cornwall. It is a 
large apple, of a light yellow colour, three-fourths covered with red stripes, contracted 
at the eye, which is prominent, and encircled by projecting plaits. In use from 
November till January; an excellent sauce apple, but with very little of the spicy 
flavour which its name imports. 
The tree grows well, and is a good bearer. 
4. CORNISH GILLIFLOWER. 
A very old variety, being included in Evelyn’s List. It is a little above the middle size, 
of oval shape, with irregular ribs ; the eye small, the stalk short and prominent, colour 
olive-green streaked with dull red. The flesh light yellow, of a rich aromatic flavour 
and fragrant scent. It bears at the extremity of the branches, but is not very pro¬ 
lific : it keeps through the winter.
