This, and its sister the Yellow. Ingestrie, sprang
from two seeds taken from the same cell of an
Orange Pippin which had been impregnated with
the pollen of the Old Golden Pippin. They were
raised by the President of the Horticultural Society,
about the year 1800, and were planted a t his then
Place called Wormsley Grange, in Herefordshire:
their name was derived from the seat of the Earl
Talbot in Staffordshire. They were first brought
into notice by a communication, accompanied by
grafts, made by Mr. Knight to the Horticultural
Society in March 1811.
I t is an excellent table apple, ripening in the
end of October, and very similar in colour to a well-
matured Golden Reinette. I t is not in perfection
after having been gathered a few weeks. I t bears
in great abundance, either as a standard or dwarf
tree.
Our drawing was made at Mr. Kirke’s Nursery
last autumn.
