4. WORMSLEY PIPPIN. 
[Syn. : Knights CocLlin. ] 
This apple was first brought into notice in 1811 by Mr. T. Andrew Knight. It was his 
favourite seedling apple, and the best he ever produced. 
Description. —Fruit; large, three inches and a half broad in the middle, and narrowing both 
towards the base and the apex, with obtuse angles on the sides, which terminate at the crown in 
several prominent ridges. Skin ; smooth, deep clear yellow, with a rich golden or orange tinge on 
the side next the sun, and covered with numerous small dark spots. Eye; large and open, with 
long acuminate segments, placed in a deep-furrowed and angular basin. Stalk; short, inserted in 
a deep and round cavity, which is thickly lined with russet. Flesh; yellow, tender, crisp, rich, 
sugary, brisk and aromatic. 
A most valuable apple either for dessert or culinary purposes : it is in season during 
September and October. 
As a culinary apple it is not to be surpassed, and even in the dessert when well ripened, 
Mr. Knight thought it resembled the New Town Pippin in flavour. 
The tree is healthy and hardy; a free grower and a free and abundant bearer. It has been 
found to succeed in every latitude of Great Britain; the late Sir G. S. McKenzie found it succeed 
well as an espalier even in Rossshire. It ought to be cultivated in every garden however small. 
The specimen of fruit coloured is rather above the average size.
