Hi
This very handsome and useful Apple is supposed
to have taken its origin in Somersetshire, from
which county specimens were first communicated
to the Horticultural Society, by Charles Worthington,
Esq., several years ago. I t has since become
much more generally diffused, and is beginning to
be cultivated in several parts of England.
I t is not a bad bearer as a standard, but is
better adapted for growing upon the Paradise Stock.
I t ripens in the end of October, and will remain
good through the month of November. When in
perfection, it is covered with a fine bloom, like
th a t of a plum.
Since the publication of the Horticultural Society’s
Fruit Catalogue, it has been ascertained that
the Dainty Apple of some parts of Norfolk is the
same.W
ood rather strong, densely downy, and
thickly marked with whitish spots.
Leaves rather large, convex, doubly serrated,
with strong stalks an inch and a half long, and
very broad stipules.
F ruit rather large, round, depressed, angular,
with a very small, close-plaited eye. S talk
