Fruit, small; roundish or oblato-oblong, regularly and handsomely shaped. Skin, smooth greenish-yellow on the shaded side, but becoming clear yellow when at matu- rity ; on the side next the sun it is dull orange, streak- ed and striped with red, which becomes more faint as it extends to the shaded side, and dotted all over with minute, punctured, russety dots. Eye, rather large, and open, with long, broad segments, reflexed at the tips, and set in a wide, deep and plaited basin. Stalk, from a quarter to half-an-inch long, slender, deeply inserted in a russety cavity. Flesh, yellowish-white, firm, crisp, very juicy and sugary, with a brisk, and rich vinous flavor. A dessert apple of first-rate quality, and very valuable, both as regards the richness of its flavor, and the long period to which it remains in perfec- tion ; it is in use from January, and keeps till April without shrivelling. The tree is healthy, a free grower, and good bearer. This variety was raised in the year 1804, by the wife of Neil Malcolm Esq. of Lamb Abbey, near Dartford in Kent, from the pip of an import- ed fruit of the Newtown Pippin. 206.
