PLATE XXIV. 
1. KENTISH BROADING. 
Is very large, broadest at the base, and rather flattened in form; the eye a little de¬ 
pressed and angulated; the stalk small and deeply inserted ; rather russety and slightly 
striped. This is a noble apple for kitchen use, very rich and juicy, and bakes well. 
In perfection in November and December. It is a tree of free growth, and is a 
good bearer. 
2. BALTIMORE. 
A variety of the Ne'vs'town Pippin, of extraordinary size. A specimen presented by 
Sir Joseph Banks to the Horticultural Society weighed one pound seven ounces and 
a half, was one foot two inches and three quarters in circumference, and four inches 
in height. A description, with a figure, is given in the Hort. Trans, vol. iii. p. 120. 
The colouring there is more florid and the shape more flat than it usually grows 
in this country. With us it generally assumes an oblong shape, flat at the top, a 
little ribbed on the sides, and a grayish hue. The flavour is fine, and it affords ex¬ 
cellent sauce. 
Blossoms light pink and white.
