This excellent Apple has long been known in
our Gardens, having been spoken of by the earliest
English writers upon gardening.
It must not be confounded with the Reinette
Dorée of the French, nor with the Apple bearing
the same name in Holland, both of which are distinct
from this, and also from each other, hut
equally deserving cultivation.
This sort bears unusually well in our climate ;
its blossoms suffer less from spring frosts than those
of many varieties. The fruit is a valuable winter
kind, ripening in the end of October, and keeping
till the end of January, or even later, after hot, .dry
summers.
Wood rather strong, dark chestnut brown,
coated with a little silvery white, but not particularly
downy.
Leaves ovate, acuminate, doubly serrated, dark
shining green. S tipules lanceolate, reflexed.
