PLATE XLVII. 
3. TRUMPINGTON. 
[Syn : Delaware ; supposed by Downing - to be the same as Rambo 7 \ 
The origin of this fruit is not given anywhere. Its name and synonyms denote it to be an 
American fruit. It is figured by Ronalds, PL xxxviii., fig. 2. 
Description .—Fruit : small, two inches and three-eighths wide, and one inch and five-eighths 
high ; oblate, even and handsomely shaped. Skin : of a fine deep golden yellow, tinged and 
mottled with pale red on the shaded side, but of a fine bright red, which extends over a greater 
part of its surface, when exposed to the sun. Eye : large and closed, with broad flat ovate 
segments, set in a wide and somewhat undulating basin. Stalk : a quarter of an inch long, inserted 
in a wide and deep cavity, which is tinged with green and lined with russet. Flesh : white, firm 
and pleasantly flavoured. 
A very pretty dessert apple and very distinct in character. It is in season from September to 
Christmas. It has not brought to England all the good qualities which the Americans attribute to 
it, for here it must be placed in the second rank.
