Royal Russet, or Leather Coat Russet

A fine apple of midling size and flat shape.
When ripe the side next the Sun is a fine
rich red intermingled with russet and with whitish
spots.  The flesh is well flavored, sprightly, tender
and tolerably juicy.  Is thought one of the finest
Kitchen Apples in England, and a great
bearer.  Is in rise from October to April.
(See Forsyth page 39. No 25)  The stalk is very
short and thick, it is usually surrounded with
swellings or inequalities in the surface of the surrounding
parts.
