PLATE LXXIV. 
5. COLONEL VAUGHAN. 
[Syn : Vauris Pippin ; Kentish Pippin ; Red Kentish Pippin ; Peppingh\ 
A very old and favourite apple, first mentioned by Ray, and enumerated in the list of Leonard 
Meager, in 1670, as one of the varieties then cultivated in the London Nurseries. 
Description. —Fruit: medium sized, two inches and three quarters broad, and two inches and 
a half high, conical, and slightly angular. Skin : pale yellow, in the shade, with a deep red colour 
on the side next the sun, and frequently covering almost all the surface, studded with specks, which 
are greenish on the shaded side, and yellowish towards the sun. Eye : small, and partially open, 
set in a wide, shallow, and plaited basin. Stalk : short, and fleshy, almost imbedded in a wide and 
deep cavity, which is smooth, or rarely marked with russet. Flesh : yellowish white, delicate, and 
very juicy, with a sweet, and briskly acid flavour. 
A culinary apple of excellent quality, in season from October to January; its beauty, when 
small in size, as it often is from an abundant crop, frequently causes it to be introduced on the 
dessert table. 
Tree : hardy, moderate in size, and a great bearer.
