PLATE XXVIII. 
1. HOARY MORNING. 
A large sauce apple of globular shape, but diminishing towards the eye, which is 
small and prominent. It is of a golden colour, richly striped all over with bright 
red : in use in December and January. Its name is from a hoariness, like a peach, 
on the skin of the fruit. 
2. BEDFORDSHIRE FOUNDLING. 
A fine large oblong kitchen apple, pea-green, with a slight tinge of red: the flesh is 
firm, sweet, and juicy; it bakes excellently, and is a very valuable sort: for use in 
December and January. 
The finest trees and specimens I have seen of this fruit and some others, are in 
the Queen’s Garden at Bushey. 
3. MARMALADE or WELSH PIPPIN. 
An oblong apple, of middle size, flattened at the eye; of a lemon colour, singularly 
mottled with whitish spots. It is a good sweet juicy apple, a great favourite in 
Wales ; of hardy growth, a profuse bearer, and will keep till February. 
Blossoms white, with a little pink. 
4. RAMBOUR GROS. 
A large oval apple, with some slightly projecting ribs ; eye and stalk small, and but 
little sunk; colour yellow, striped with light red. It bakes well, and has an agree¬ 
able flavour. In use in December and January.
