PLATE XLIl. 
1. BURRELL’S RED. 
It is above the medium size, of a conical shape, with wrinkles encompassing a small 
shallow eye; the stalk is deeply inserted: it is of an entire beautiful red colour ap¬ 
proaching to scarlet. The flesh is juicy and rich, with an agreeable acid. This is a 
very desirable sauce apple throughout November, December, and January. It is a 
robust grower, and bears well. 
2. DEVONSHIRE GOLDEN BALL. 
It is large and of globular shape, straw-coloured, with a flush of unstriped carmine. 
A very beautiful sauce apple, juicy, with an agreeable aeid : it is a very useful apple 
in January and February. The tree grows well, and bears freely. 
3. FRENCH CRAB. 
Well known as the longest keeping apple we have; it may be preserved fit for use 
the year round, from the time of gathering. It is a little above the middle size and 
perfectly globular; of a grass-green colour through the winter, but in spring it 
changes to yellow: it is remarkably firm in substance, and has a pleasant brisk fla¬ 
vour. The tree is very hardy, somewhat pendent in its growth, and bears well. 
4. HAMBLEDON DEUX ANS. 
A large noble apple, globular, straw-coloured, with a little russet near the stalk, and 
bright red stripes over the greatest part; the eye and stalk very little depressed. It 
is richly flavoured, but rather deficient in juice; keeps well through the winter, and 
is on the whole a useful sort.
