PLATE LXVII. 
A well-known German apple, introduced by the late Mr. Rivers, of Sawbridgworth (c. 1870). 
Description. —Fruit: large, round, and somewhat depressed, with obtuse ribs on the sides, 
extending to the apex, round which they form prominent ridges. Skin : smooth and shining, of a 
clear greenish, lemon yellow colour, except on the side exposed to the sun, which has a faint blush 
of thin red. Eye : generally closed, but sometimes open, with erect, slightly spreading segments, 
which are long. Stalk : very short, quite embedded in the cavity. Flesh : very tender, juicy, and 
pleasantly subacid. 
A handsome and very excellent kitchen apple, in season during November and December. 
The tree is hardy, grows vigorously, and usually bears well.
