PLATE LVI. 
i. KENTISH FILL-BASKET. 
[Syn : Lady de Grey s; Potter s Largei] 
The history of the precise origin of this fruit has been lost. It is not the fruit described as 
Kentish Fill-basket by Miller, Forsyth, nor yet of Rogers, which was evidently the Kentish Codlin. 
Ronalds figures this apple on PI. ix., fig. i. 
Description. —Fruit: very large, four inches wide and three inches and a quarter high ; 
roundish, irregular and slightly ribbed. Skin : smooth, yellowish green in the shade, and pale 
yellow with a reddish brown blush, streaked with deeper red on the side next the sun. Eye : large, 
set in a wide irregular basin. Flesh : tender and juicy, with a brisk and pleasant flavour. 
An excellent culinary apple of first-rate quality, in season from November to January. 
The tree is a strong and vigorous grower. It attains a large size, and is much better 
adapted for standards, than for espaliers or pyramids. It is very hardy and bears abundantly. Its 
fruit is very variable in shape and size.
