PLATE XXX. 
1. OSTERLEY APPLE. 
A seedling from the Ribston Pippin, raised by Mr. Ellis the gardener at Osterley 
Park. It very much resembles its parent in appearance, is not inferior in flavour, 
and has the advantage of keeping a month longer. The tree grows freely without 
canker, and is a good bearer. 
2. LEWIS’S INCOMPARABLE. 
A fine large kitchen apple, nearly globular, but terminating in a small contracted 
eye; straw colour, variegated with scarlet streaks. The flesh is white, juicy, and 
agreeably flavoured. The tree grows large, and bears plentifully. ' 
3. WINTER STRAWBERRY. 
This variety is above the middle size, of a globular shape, plaited about the eye, 
which, as well as the stalk, is very little depressed; straw colour, richly striped with 
scarlet. It is a good winter apple, of a pleasant subacid flavour. 
4. HANWELL SOURING. 
A large apple, of ovate form, contracted at the eye, which is seated in a small cavity ; 
of a pea-green colour, with some light red. It is a weighty apple, juicy, and retains 
its brisk acid flavour even to April and May. This sort is a favourite in Warwick¬ 
shire.
