PLATE XLIII. 
i. HOARY MORNING. 
[Syn : Dainty Apple ; Downy ; Sam Rawlings ; New Margil .] 
This handsome Apple is supposed to have had its origin in Somersetshire, though its actual 
history is lost. It was first communicated to the London Horticultural Society by Charles 
Worthington, Esq., and has since this time been generally cultivated in England. 
Ronalds gives a good figure of it, PI. xxvii., fig. i. 
Description. —Fruit: large, three inches and a half wide, and two inches and three-quarters 
high ; roundish, somewhat flattened and angular. Skin : yellowish, marked with broad pale red 
stripes on the shaded side, and broad broken stripes of bright crimson on the side next the sun ; the 
whole surface entirely covered with a thick bloom, like thin hoar frost. Eye : very small, set in 
a shallow and plaited basin. Stalk : short, inserted in a wide and round cavity. Flesh : yellowish 
white, tinged with red at the surface under the skin, brisk, juicy, rich and slightly acid. 
A large and handsome culinary apple, but not of first quality. It is in season from October 
to December. 
The tree has a low spreading growth, and bears abundantly.
