Burlington Sate Pearmain

This is one of the finest apples of the
Season equally admired for the dessert
for culinary purposes and for Cyder.
The fruit is rather large, of an oblong
shape, the colour rather a dull red, faintly
striped with green, with indistinct russet spots, the flesh rich juicy yellow
delicate and sprightly, the tree
thrives well in light sandy soils,
is a great bearer and very profitable.
It is both an excellent Fall and Winter table
fruit and excellent for Cider.  I believe it to be the same
with the Herefordshire or Winter Pearmain
of England. vid. Forsyth No 20.  I have eat them
in high order late in March.
