Text Appearing Before Image:
100 BRITISH POMOLOGY, ETC. with streaks aud mottles of crimson, and strewed with russety dots. Eye, large and open, with long, acuminate, and reflexed segments ; and placed in a round, even, and rather deep basin. Stalk, three quarters of an inch long, stout, and inserted in a rather shallow cavity, which is lined with thin pale brown russet mixed with a tinge of green. Flesh, yellowish- white, firm, breaking, juicy, and sweet; with a pleasant and somewhat aromatic flavor. A beautiful and very handsome apple of first-rate quality, and suitable either for the dessert or for culinary purposes ; it is in use from the end of October to January. The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, a most abundant bearer, and attains a considerable size. It is perfectly hardy, and will grow in almost any situation. This variety was first brought into notice by Mr. Kirke, a nursery- man, at Brompton, under the name of King of the Pippins. I have, however, thought it advisable to discontinue that name in connection with this variety, because Diel previously possessed and described it under the name of Golden Winter Pearmain, which is much more appro- priate ; and the name of King of the Pippins belongs to another and very distinct variety.—See JYo. 199. 153. GOOSEBERRY.—Hort. Identification.—Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 293. Fruit, very large ; roundish-ovate. Skin, smooth, deep lively green,
