i. NEW NORTHERN GREENING. 
A seedling from the Northern Greening, but superior to it in size, in flavour, and as a 
keeping apple. 
Description. —Fruit; rather above middle size, about two inches and a half broad, and two 
inches and one quarter high, roundish but more flattened than its parent. Skin ; smooth, of a 
dullish green and brownish red on the sunny side ; this colour frequently spreads over the greater 
part of the surface of the fruit, and often presents streaks of a darker colour. Eye ; small and 
neat, closed with long segments and set in a broad round and even basin. Stalk ; short and stout, 
inserted in a deep narrow cavity. Flesh ; greenish white, Arm in texture, crisp, and very juicy. It 
is excellent in flavour, with a brisk vinous acidity, and is superior for tarts to all others of its 
season. The fruit is in best flavour in December, January, and February, and if allowed to 
remain late on the tree before it is gathered, it will be good in March. 
The tree grows freely and bears well. It succeeds well as a bush or pyramid, and only 
requires for pruning, the summer pinching of the ends of the shoots.
