A Somersetshire Apple of the highest merit. I t
was originally raised in a village in th a t county,
from the seed of the Colden Pippin, to which it
is little inferior either as a cider or table fruit.
The tree is very healthy and vigorous, and a great
bearer.
Ripens in the middle of October, is in perfection
in January, and will keep, with good management,
till the middle of March.
Like most other fruits of much excellence, it has
received a number of different names, which are
enumerated above.
The W ood is weak, grayish brown, with a thin
coating of slate-coloured epidermis, very slightly
pubescent.
L eaves flattish, ovate, obtuse, regularly serrated,
with a downy petiole and underside. S tipules as
long as the petiole.
