6. THE GRANGE APPLE. 
For this excellent variety, as well as many others, we are indebted to Mr. Knight, 
President of the Horticultural Society. It is of medium size, a rich golden colour 
embroidered with some russet, and light and dark specks; of a globular shape, rather 
flattened, and without any inequalities of surface j the eye is large and prominent: 
the flesh is yellowish, close in texture, of a pleasant flavour. It is excellent either 
for the dessert or for cider, and is in use from October to Christmas. The tree 
grows well, and is little subject to canker. 
7. MOORHEN PIPPIN. 
A dessert apple, in high estimation in Hampshire. It is of middle size, pea-green 
colour, variegated with scarlet blotching and some russet; firm in substance, and rich 
in flavour: keeps well till April. A great bearer, and grows well. 
8. REINETTE GRISE. 
A famous dessert apple (presented to me by the Horticultural Society) from the Lux- 
embourg Gardens at Paris. It is of rather small size, both eye and stalk prominent, 
oblong in shape, of a pea-green ground, covered nearly all over with light brown 
russet; it has a sweet and rich flavour: in use from December till March. The 
apples of this sort imported from France are much more beautiful, and keep longer 
in perfection, than those grown in this country. The tree is delicate, and apt to 
canker; if planted on an east or west wall, (of which situation it is well worthy,) its 
fruit would probably rival those from France. 
9. GOLDEN KNOB. 
A favourite dessert apple, particularly in Surrey and Sussex ; it is rather small and of 
globular shape, the eye and stalk both small, of a golden colour with a little silvery 
russet. It is very neat and pretty, of excellent flavour, and keeps in perfection from 
Christmas till March. The tree thrives and bears well.
