PLATE XXXIV. 
1. SCARLET NONPAREIL. 
This is of a larger size than the original sort, and of globular form ; pale yellow, 
three-fourths covered with fine unmixed bnght red: the eye very little sunk in a 
small cavity, the stalk long and rather thick. It is a beautiful and well-flavoured 
fruit, but not so crisp and juicy as the old kind, nor will it keep quite so long ; but 
the tree grows sounder and stronger. 
•2. GOLDEN NONPAREIL. 
Very much resembling the original both in size and shape ; but is of a golden colour, 
mingled with russet and a slight blush of red. It is a very pretty dessert apple, high- 
flavoured, but with too much acid for most palates. This sort is of rather delicate 
growth, apt to canker, and of course requires good loamy ground. It is in use from 
October till December. 
3. BRADDICK’S NONPAREIL. 
This is nearest to the original sort of all the varieties. It has a good deal of red 
colour, a rich juicy flavour, and is a very excellent dessert apple from December 
till February. 
4. GREEN OB PETOORTH NONPAREIL. 
Raised, I believe, at the Earl of Egremont’s: larger than the old Nonpareil, but of 
nearly the same shape; its colour green. This is a valuable apple for the table, 
crisp, juicy, and high-flavoured; will keep till February or March. It is a good 
bearer, and of stronger growth than the original.
