Fruit, medium sized, three inches wide, and two inches and a half high; round, and somewhat flattened. Skin, green, changing to yellow on the shaded side, and dotted with a few grey dots; but red, mottled with broad broken stripes of darker red on the side next the sun, which become paler as they extend to the shaded side. Eye, open, with long acuminate segments, deeply set in an angular basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a shallow cavity, lined with rough russet, which extends over the base. Flesh, white, deeply tinged with green, tender, juicy, and briskly flavored. A culinary apple; in use from October to Christmas. This variety is grown in some parts of Sussex particularly about Hailsham and Heathfield. 159. GREENUP’S PIPPIN.--H. SYNONYME.--Greenus’s Pippin, _of some Catalogues_. [Illustration] Fruit, above medium size, three inches wide, and two and a half high; roundish, broadest at the base, and with a prominent rib on one side, extending from the base to the crown. Skin, smooth, pale straw colored tinged with green, on the shaded side; but covered with beautiful bright red on the side next the sun, and marked with several patches of thin delicate russet. Eye, closed, with long flat segments, placed in a round, rather deep, and plaited basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a wide cavity. Flesh, pale yellowish-white, tender, juicy, sweet, and briskly flavored. An excellent apple, either for culinary or dessert use. In the northern counties it is a popular and highly esteemed variety, and ranks as a first-rate fruit. It is in use from October to December. The tree is hardy and healthy; it does not attain a large size, but is an abundant bearer. When grown against a wall, as it is sometimes in the North of England, and border counties, the fruit attains a large size, and is particularly handsome and beautiful. This variety was first discovered growing in the garden of a shoemaker, at Keswick, named Greenup, and was first cultivated and made public by Clarke and Atkinson, nurserymen at that place about fifty years ago. It is now much cultivated throughout the border counties, and is a valuable apple where the more choice varieties do not attain perfection. 160. GREY LEADINGTON.--Gibs. IDENTIFICATION.--Gibs. Fr.
