PLATE LXIX. 
3. YELLOW INGESTRIE. 
A seedling produced from hybridization by Mr. Thomas Andrew Knight from the Orange 
Pippin , fertilized by pollen from the Golden Pippin, a fellow pip, and from the same cell of the 
core, of the same apple, that produced the Red Ingestrie. 
Description. —Fruit: small, an inch and three quarters wide, and an inch and five eighths 
high ; of a handsome cylindrical shape, flattened at both ends. Skin : smooth, of a fine clear yellow, 
tinged with deeper yellow on the side next the sun, and marked with small pinky spots. Eye : 
small and partially closed, set almost even with the surface, but sometimes in a wide and shallow 
basin. Stalk : from half an inch to three quarters long, set in a rather shallow and smooth cavity. 
Flesh : yellow, firm, crisp and delicate, with a profusion of brisk and highly flavoured vinous juice. 
A beautiful little dessert apple of excellent quality, and very attractive in appearance. It 
bears a considerable resemblance to the Golden Pippin. It is in season during September and 
October, and a great favourite in the London market, where it is called “ Summers.” 
The tree is hardy, large and spreading. It bears abundantly either as a standard in the 
orchard, or as a bush tree in the garden.
