rough dots are scattered over the whole surface: these appear of a light colour where opposed to the dark red, and dark when on the pale green. The eye, which is rather small, well formed, round, and not deeply sunk, is surrounded by a number of small plaits or folds, regularly arranged, which extend only a short distance before they become imperceptible, and the body of the fruit is quite round. The stalk is short, and deeply inserted in a very small cavity. Flesh greenish white, of a very pleasant and rather firm consistence, sweet and well flavoured, somewhat resembling the Old Golden Reinette.

This Apple is in perfection in December, and may sometimes be preserved until February. The specimen delineated was obtained from the garden of J. R. WHEELER, Esqre Gloucester Place, New Road, in 1812.
