5. ORIGINAL NONPAREIL. 
This old and general favourite is so well known as hardly to need description. It is 
nearly globular, but smallest at the eye; pea-green, with some dull red: the flavour 
is brisk, juicy, and highly flavoured, which good qualities it preserves longer than 
any other apple, even till April and May. It bears well, but is of slender growth, 
and,' like many old sorts, apt to canker. 
6. FLAT NONPAREIL. 
Differs from the old sort only in being of flatter shape, and in not keeping so long; 
but it is a very nice juicy apple. Jn eating, December, January, and February. 
The tree grows free of canker, and bears well. 
7. ROSS NONPAREIL. 
Of globular shape, russety, and a little larger than the original. It has a sweeter 
taste than the old sort, is of firm texture, and a good table apple in January and 
February.
