This is a very old variety, and is no doubt the “Orange Apple” of Ray and Worlidge. According to Mr. Knight, it is by some supposed to have been introduced from Normandy to the Isle of Wight, where it was first planted in the garden at Wrexall Cottage, near the Undercliff, where it was growing in 1817. There are several other varieties of apples known by the name of “Orange” and “Orange Pippin,” but they are all very inferior to this. The tree does not attain a large size, but is hardy, healthy, and an excellent bearer. It succeeds well when grafted on the paradise stock, and grown as an open dwarf, or an espalier. 190. ISLEWORTH CRAB.--Hort. SYNONYME.--Brentford Crab, _acc. Hort. Soc. Cat._ ed. 3, p. 21. Fruit, medium sized, two inches and three quarters wide, by the same in height; conical. Skin, smooth, of a pale yellow color, with a deeper tinge where exposed to the sun, and covered with small redish-brown dots. Eye, small and open, with reflexed segments, set in a round and narrow basin. Stalk, slender, inserted in a deep, round, and even cavity. Flesh, yellowish-white, crisp, sweet, juicy, and pleasantly flavored. A pretty good culinary apple of second-rate quality; in use during October; but scarcely worth cultivation. 191. JOANNETING.--H.

[Illustration] Fruit, small; round, and a little flattened. Skin, smooth and shining, pale yellowish-green in the shade; but clear yellow, with sometimes a faint tinge of red or orange next the sun. Eye, small and closed, surrounded with a few small plaits, and set in a very shallow basin. Stalk, an inch long, slender, and inserted in a shallow cavity, which is lined with delicate russet. Flesh, white, crisp, brisk, and juicy, with a vinous and slightly perfumed flavor, but becoming meally and tasteless, if kept only a few days after being gathered. This is the earliest apple of the year, the first of Pomona’s autumnal offerings; it is in greatest perfection when gathered off the tree, or immediately afterwards, as it very soon becomes dry and meally. The tree does not attain a large size, but is hardy and healthy. It is not a great bearer, which may, in a great measure, account for it not being so generally cultivated, as its earliness would recommend it to be. If worked on the paradise stock it may be grown in pots, when the fruit will not only be produced earlier, but in greater abundance than on the crab, or free stock.
