PLATE LII. 
2. ANNIE ELIZABETH. 
This seedling was raised by Messrs. Harrison & Son, of Leicester, and the fruit received a 
first-class certificate on Oct. 6th, 1868, from the Royal Horticultural Society. Its pedigree is 
not exactly known, but it is believed to have been obtained from the Bess Pool. < 
Description. —Fruit: large, round, widest at the base, and prominently ribbed or angular. 
Skin : pale yellow on the shaded side, but streaked and spotted with bright crimson on the side 
next the sun. Eye : large and open, deeply set in an irregular angular basin. Stalk : short, deeply 
inserted. Flesh : white and of a firm yet crisp and tender texture, with a fine, brisk, sprightly 
flavour. 
An excellent late kitchen apple, in season through the winter months, and very good for 
dessert if kept until the spring. When well kept it lasts from December to June, or even until 
apples come again. 
The tree is of upright growth, sturdy and compact in habit, making an excellent pyramid. 
The leaves are very large, and so too is the fruit, which it bears in good quantity.
