PLATE LXXI. 
The origin of this variety is not given in the leading pomological works. It is thought to 
be a Norfolk apple, and in that county it is commonly grown in the cottage gardens. 
Description .—Fruit : large, three inches and three quarters broad, and three inches high ; 
roundish, somewhat oblate, but broadest at the base, and considerably flattened at the ends. Skin : 
yellowish green in the shade, but tinged with red next the sun, interspersed with a few streaks of 
red, and covered in some places with patches of fine russet. Eye : large and open, set in a rather 
deep and angular basin. Stalk : short, inserted in a deep cavity. Flesh : yellowish white, firm, 
crisp, rich, and juicy, with a pleasant sub-acid flavour. 
An excellent culinary apple, in season during November and December, or later still. 
The tree is a strong, healthy, and vigorous grower, and an excellent bearer.
