PLATE LXI. 
2. ROUND WINTER NONESUCH. 
The origin of this apple is not given in any of the leading pomological works. 
Description .—Fruit : large, over three inches wide, and two and half high ; roundish and 
very considerably flattened, or somewhat oblate ; its outline is uneven, which is caused by several 
obtuse and unequal, though not prominent ribs on the sides. Skin : thick and membranous, 
smooth, pale yellow, slightly tinged with green on the shaded side, but on the side exposed to the 
sun, it is marked with broken stripes and spots of a beautiful deep crimson, thinly sprinkled all over 
with a few russety dots. Eye : large and closed, so prominently set and raised above the surface 
as to appear puffed up and set on bosses. Stalk : very short, inserted in a round, funnel-shaped 
cavity, and not protruding beyond the base. Flesh : greenish white, tender, sweet, juicy and 
pleasantly flavoured. 
A culinary apple of a very attractive appearance, and of excellent quality. It keeps well, 
and is in season from November to March. 
The tree grows freely, is very hardy and bears well. It is becoming very generally 
cultivated by the orchardist and market gardener, and deserves it, since its fruit is not only good in 
colour and size, but its quality is excellent and it keeps well through the winter.
