6. DUTCH MIGNONNE. 
[Syn : Christ's Golden Reinette ; Copmanthorpe Crab; Stettin Pipping 
This apple was imported into England from Holland, by a gentleman in Yorkshire, and was 
made known to English Gardeners by Mr. George Lindley, of Catton, near Norwich (1819). 
Description. —Fruit: rather above middle size, roundish and handsome, narrowing a little 
towards the eye, where it is sometimes slightly ribbed. Skin : dull, greenish yellow, marked all 
over with broken streaks of pale red and crimson, with traces of russet, and numerous russety dots, 
which are thickest round the eye. Eye: small and closed, with short and pointed segments, placed 
in a deep and narrow basin. Stalk : an inch long, inserted in a round and deep cavity, which, 
with a portion of the base is lined with rough russet. Flesh : yellow, firm, crisp, very juicy, rich, 
sugary, and aromatic. 
A very valuable and delicious dessert apple, in season from December to April. 
The tree is hardy, grows vigorously, and bears abundantly. It attains a middle size when 
full grown. It is well adapted for dwarf and espalier training, and for these purposes succeeds 
well on the paradise stock.
