Part 6

One of the best winter dessert apples, in use from November to April, and by many considered more sweet, and tender, than the old Nonpareil.

The tree is quite hardy, a slender grower, and never attains to a large size, but is a very excellent bearer. It succeeds well on the paradise stock, and is well adapted for dwarfs, or for being grown as an espalier.

This excellent variety was raised by John Braddick, Esq., of Thames Ditton.

43. BREEDON PIPPIN.--Hort.

IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Trans. vol. iii. p. 268. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 85. Lind. Guide, 64. Rog. Fr. Cult. 82.

FIGURE.--Hort. Trans. vol. iii. pl. 10, f. 1.

Fruit, small, two inches and a half wide, and two inches and a quarter high; roundish, and somewhat oblate, broader at the base than the apex, where it assumes somewhat of a four-sided shape. Skin, deep dull yellow tinged with redish orange; inclining to red on the side exposed to the sun, and marked with a few traces of delicate brown russet. Eye, open, with short ovate reflexed segments, which are frequently four in number, set in a broad, shallow, and plaited basin. Stalk, half an inch to three quarters long, inserted in a round and shallow cavity. Flesh, yellowish, firm, and with a rich, vinous, and brisk flavor, resembling that of a pine-apple.

This is one of the best dessert apples; it is in use during October and November. It bears some resemblance to the Court of Wick, but is considerably richer in flavor than that variety.

The tree is hardy; a slender grower, and does not attain a large size; it is, however, an excellent bearer. It is well adapted for dwarf training, and succeeds well on the paradise stock.

This esteemed variety was raised by the Rev. Dr. Symonds Breedon, at Bere Court, near Pangbourne, Berkshire.

44. BRICKLEY SEEDLING.--Hort.

IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 86. Lind. Guide, 39. Rog. Fr. Cult. 62.

FIGURE.--Pom. Mag. t. 124.

Fruit, small, two inches and a half broad, and two inches high; roundish, and narrowing towards the apex. Skin, greenish yellow in the shade, and red where exposed to the sun, with a few streaks of red where the two colors blend. Eye, small and open, set in a smooth, and rather shallow basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a wide cavity. Flesh, yellowish, firm, rich, sugary, and highly flavored.

A very desirable winter dessert apple, of first-rate quality; it is in use from January to April.

The tree is hardy and an abundant bearer.

45. BRIDGEWATER PIPPIN.--Rea.

IDENTIFICATION.--Rea. Pom. 210. Worl. Vin. 158. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 87.

Fruit, large; roundish, and somewhat flattened, with prominent ribs on the sides, which extend to the basin of the eye. Skin, deep yellow, strewed with russety dots, and with a blush of red which sometimes assumes a lilac hue near the stalk. Eye, large and open, set in a deep and angular basin. Stalk, rather short, inserted in a deep, wide, irregular, and angular cavity. Flesh, yellowish, briskly, and pleasantly flavored.

A good culinary apple of second-rate quality, in use from October to December.

This is a very old English variety, being mentioned by Rea, in 1665, and of which, he says, “it is beautiful to the eye, and pleasant to the palat.”

46. BRINGEWOOD PIPPIN.--Hort.

IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 88. Lind. Guide, 40. Rog. Fr. Cult. 88.

Fruit, small, two inches and a half wide, and an inch and three quarters high; almost round, a good deal like a flattened Golden Pippin. Skin, of a fine rich yellow color, covered with greyish dots, russety round the eye, and marked with a few russety dots on the side next the sun. Eye, small and open, with reflexed segments, and placed in a shallow basin. Stalk, short and slender, inserted in a moderately deep cavity, which is lined with greenish grey russet. Flesh, yellowish, firm, crisp, and sugary, with a rich and perfumed flavor.

An excellent, though not a first-rate dessert apple, in use from January to March. Its only fault is the flesh being too dry.

The tree is hardy, but a weak and slender grower, and never attains a great size. It succeeds well on the paradise stock.

This is one of the varieties raised by Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq., of Downton Castle, Herefordshire, and which he obtained by impregnating the Golden Pippin, with the pollen of the Golden Harvey.

47. BRISTOL PEARMAIN.--H.

Fruit, small, about two inches and a quarter wide, and the same in height; oblong, slightly angular on the side, and ridged round the eye. Skin, dull yellowish green, with a few pale stripes of crimson, and considerably covered with patches and dots of thin grey russet on the shaded side; but marked with thin dull red, striped with deeper and brighter red, on the side exposed to the sun, and covered with numerous dark russety dots. Eye, small and closed, with erect, acute segments, set in a deep, round, and plaited basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a shallow cavity, which is lined with thin brown russet, strewed with silvery scales. Flesh, yellow, firm, not very juicy, but briskly flavored.

An apple of little merit, in use from October to February.

The only place where I have ever met with this variety, is in the neighbourhood of Odiham, in Hampshire.

55. CALVILLE BLANCHE D’ÉTÉ.--Knoop.

IDENTIFICATION.--Knoop Pom. 13. Chart. Cat. 56. Diel Kernobst. B. II. 7. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 109.

SYNONYMES.--White Calville, _Acc. Hort. Soc. Cat._ Calville Blanc, _Jard. Franç._ 106. Wahrer Weiszer Sommer Calville, _Diel Kernobst._ B. II. 7. Weisser Sommerkalwil, _Baum. Cat._ 1850.

FIGURE.--Knoop Pom. t. 1.

Fruit, medium sized, about three inches broad, and two inches high; roundish and flattened at the ends, with prominent ribs on the sides, which extend to the eye and form ridges round the apex--the true character of the Calvilles. Skin, tender and delicate; when ripe, of a very pale straw color, and without the least tinge of red on the side exposed to the sun, but sometimes marked with a few traces of delicate russet, but no dots. Eye, large, and closed with long, broad, acuminate segments, and set in a pretty deep and very angular basin. Stalk, three quarters of an inch long, stout, inserted in a wide and rather shallow cavity, which is lined with thin russet. Flesh, white, tender, and delicate, with a sweet and pleasant flavor.

A very good early culinary apple, but not of the finest quality, being too soft and tender; it is ripe during August, and lasts till the middle of September.

The tree is a very strong and vigorous grower, with a large round head, and is an excellent bearer. It is distinguished by its very large foliage, the leaves being 4½ inches long by 3¼ broad.

This is an old continental variety, but has been very little noticed by writers on Pomology. It is mentioned in the Jardinier Français, of 1653, and by De Quintinye, but the first work in which it is either figured or described, is Knoop’s Pomologie. Duhamel does not notice it, although it is enumerated in the catalogue of the Chartreuse, from whose garden he received the materials for producing his work on fruits.

FIGURE.--Knoop Pom. Tab. xi. Duh. Arb. Fr. vol. i., pl. ii. Jard. Fruit, ed. 2, pl. 103.

Fruit, large, three inches and a half wide, and three inches and a quarter high; roundish and flattened, with broad uneven and unequal ribs, extending the whole length of the fruit, and terminating at the apex in prominent unequal ridges. Skin, delicate pale yellow tinged with green, becoming bright golden yellow at maturity, washed with deep red on the side next the sun, and strewed with brown dots, and a few markings of greyish white russet. Eye, small and closed with stout and pointed segments, set in a deep, irregular, five-ribbed basin, which is surrounded with knobs. Stalk, three quarters of an inch long, slender, and inserted the whole of its length in a deep and angular cavity, which is lined with russet. Flesh, yellowish white, delicate, and juicy, with a rich, lively, and agreeable aromatic flavor.

A valuable winter apple, admirably adapted for all culinary purposes, and excellent also for the dessert. It is in use from January to April.

The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, and a good bearer, but does not attain more than the middle size. It is rather liable to canker in damp situations, and is better suited for a dwarf than a standard; if grown on the paradise stock the appearance of the fruit is very much improved.

This variety is sometimes called _Pomme Glace_, which is, however, a distinct variety, known by the names of _Rouge des Chartreux_, and _Pomme de Concombre_; it is a variety of Calville Blanche d’Hiver, the fruit is about the size of an egg, but twice as long.

FIGURE.--Poit et Turp, pl. 41.

Fruit, very large, elongated, and prominently ribbed like the Calville Blanche d’Hiver, but not so much flattened as that variety. Skin, a little yellow on the shaded side, and of a beautiful deep red next the sun, which is marked with stripes of darker red, strewed all over with minute dots. Eye, small, set in a broad, deep, and angular basin, which is surrounded with prominent knobs. Stalk, slender, deeply inserted in an angular cavity. Flesh, white, delicate, very juicy, and charged with an agreeable acid.

A culinary apple of the first quality; in use from January to April, and “keeps well.” According to the Chartreux Catalogue, “est bonne cuite pour les malades.”

The tree is a very vigorous grower, much more so than the generality of the Calvilles; it is very hardy and an abundant bearer, and is better adapted for being cultivated as a dwarf than an espalier; but it does not succeed well on the paradise stock.

According to the French pomologists, this variety seems to have some connection with this country, but there is no evidence that it was at any period grown to any extent in England, or that it was ever known to any of our early pomologists. It is said by some that the name _malingre_ is applied to this variety from the fruit becoming meally or unsound, but from the observation in the Chartreux Catalogue, it is more probable that it is so called from being useful to invalids.

FIGURE.--Knoop Pom. tab. iii. Mayer. Pom. Franc. tab. xi. Sickler Obstgärt. ix. 205. t. 8.

Fruit, large, three inches and a half wide, and three and a quarter high; not so much flattened as the other Calvilles. Skin, pale red, with a trace of yellow on the shaded side, but of a beautiful deep crimson next the sun, and marked with yellowish dots on the shaded side. Eye, half open, set in a rather shallow, and ribbed basin, which is lined with fine down. Stalk, rather short, inserted in a wide and deep cavity, which is lined with russet. Flesh, white, tinged with red under the skin, and very much so on the side which is exposed to the sun; it is tender, delicate, and juicy, with a pleasant, vinous, and violet scented flavor.

A culinary apple of inferior quality in this country, but highly esteemed on the Continent, both as a culinary and a dessert fruit. It is in season during October and November.

The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, and attains the largest size. It is also an abundant bearer. To have the fruit in perfection it ought to be grown on the paradise stock as an open dwarf, in a fine sandy loam, and not too closely pruned.

Fruit, medium sized, two inches and a half wide, and about the same high; roundish, narrowing towards the apex, and with prominent ribs on the sides like the other Calvilles. Skin, yellowish white, streaked and veined with red on the shaded side; but covered with beautiful deep shining crimson, on the side next the sun, and strewed with numerous white dots. Eye, small and prominent, set in a narrow and wrinkled basin. Stalk, from an inch to an inch and a half long, inserted in a deep and narrow cavity, which is lined with thin russet. Flesh, white tinged with red, crisp and tender, agreeably and pleasantly flavored.

A culinary apple of second-rate quality, ripe during July and August. The flesh is stained with red, particularly on the side next the sun, and partakes somewhat of the flavor of the strawberry. It is valued only for its earliness.

The tree is of small habit of growth, but an excellent bearer. There is great confusion subsisting between this variety and the Passe-pomme Rouge, which Duhamel has described under the name of Calville d’Eté.

FIGURE.--Knoop Pom. Tab. ix. Duh. Arb. Fr. i. Tab. iii. Poit. et Turp. pl. 87.

Fruit, large, about three inches high, and the same in width; oblong, but not nearly so much ribbed on the sides as the other Calvilles already described. Skin, covered with a bluish bloom, deep shining crimson on the side next the sun, but paler red on the shaded side, and strewed with numerous yellowish dots. Eye, large and closed, with long segments set in a deep warted and wrinkled basin. Stalk, slender, three quarters of an inch long, inserted in a deep cavity, which is lined with thin brown russet. Flesh, greenish white stained with red, not very juicy, tender, vinous, and with a pleasant perfumed flavor.

A culinary apple of second-rate quality, ripe during November and December. The tree attains about the middle size, is vigorous and healthy in its young state, and is a good bearer. It is well adapted for growing as dwarfs on the paradise stock, and requires a rich and warm soil.

61. CALVILLE ROUGE DE MICOUD.--Hort.

IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Trans. vol. v., p. 242. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 119.

Fruit, below medium size; oblate, and ribbed on the sides. Skin, tough, and bitter tasted, red all over; but of a deeper and darker color on the side next the sun, and streaked and spotted with paler red on the shaded side. Eye open, placed in a wide and deep basin. Stalk, long, inserted in a round cavity. Flesh, yellowish white, tender and delicate, crisp, sweet, and perfumed.

This curious apple has the extraordinary property of producing three crops of fruit in one season. The first flowers appear at the usual time in April, the second in June, and then for a time it ceases to produce any more till the month of August, when it again blooms during the whole of that month, September, October, and November, until it is checked by the severity of the frosts. The first fruit is generally ripe during August; the second in October, which are about the size of a pigeon’s egg, and quite as good as the first. And so on it continues until retarded by the frosts; but those last produced are rarely fit for use.

This variety was first brought into notice by M. Thouin, of Paris, who says the tree originated on the farm of the Baroness de Micoud, near La Charité sur Loire, in the department of Nièvre.
