[Syn : Horsley Pippin; Kirkes Admirable; Hawberry Pippinl\ 
The pomological authorities do not give any history of this variety. 
Description. —Fruit: very large, three inches and three quarters wide, and three inches high ; 
roundish and flattened, with irregular and prominent angles, or ribs, extending from the base to the 
apex. Skin : deep yellow, tinged with green on the shaded side, but bright deep scarlet where 
exposed to the sun, and generally extending over the whole surface. Eye : closed, with long 
pointed segments, and set in a wide and deep basin. Stalk : short and slender, inserted in a deep 
funnel-shaped cavity, which is generally lined with russet. Flesh : white, with a slight tinge of 
green, delicate, tender, and juicy, with a brisk and pleasant flavour. 
A beautiful and showy apple for culinary purposes. It is in season from October to Christmas. 
The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, but does not bear abundantly. It succeeds well 
on the paradise stock, when the fruit is less liable to be blown off by winds.
