This is one of the richest flavored early dessert apples, and unequalled by any other variety of the same season; it is ripe in the end of August, and beginning of September. This is the original, and true King of the Pippins, and a very different apple from that generally known by the same name. _See_ Golden Winter Pearmain. I suspect this is the _King Apple_ of Rea. 200. KINGSTON BLACK.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3. Fruit, small, two inches and a quarter wide, and one and three quarters high; roundish. Skin, pale yellow, striped with red on the shaded side; and very dark red, striped with dark purple, or almost black stripes, on the side next the sun; thickly strewed all over with light-grey russety dots, and with a large patch of russet over the base. Eye, open, with broad reflexed segments, and set in a deep basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a shallow cavity. Flesh, white, stained with red under the skin, on the side next the sun, tender, juicy, sweet, and pleasantly flavored. This is a beautiful little apple, extensively grown in Somersetshire, where in the present day it is considered the most valuable cider apple. It keeps till Christmas. 201. KIRKE’S LORD NELSON.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 414. FIGURE.--Ron. Pyr. Mal. pl. xiv. Fruit, large, three inches and a quarter wide, and two inches and three quarters high; roundish, and narrowing a little towards the apex. Skin, smooth, pale yellow, streaked all over with red. Eye, open, with short reflexed segments, and set in a plaited basin. Stalk, short and slender. Flesh, yellowish-white, firm, juicy and aromatic, but wants acidity. An inferior variety, neither a good dessert apple, nor at all suitable for culinary purposes; It is in use from November to February. 202. KNOBBED RUSSET.--H. SYNONYMES.--Knobby Russet, _Hort. Soc. Cat._ ed. 3, n. 741. _Hort. Trans._ vol. iv. p. 219. _Lind. Guide_, 90. Winter Apple, _Hort. Soc. Cat._ ed. 1, 1167. Old Maid’s, _acc. Hort. Soc. Cat._ Fruit, medium sized; roundish-oval, and very uneven on its surface; being covered with numerous knobs, or large warts, some of which are the size of peas. Skin, greenish-yellow, and covered with thick scaly russet. Eye, set in a deep basin. Stalk, inserted in a deep cavity. Flesh, yellowish, crisp, sweet, and highly flavored; but not very juicy. A singular looking dessert apple, of first-rate quality. It is in use from December to March. This variety was introduced to the notice of the London Horticultural Society in 1819, by Mr. Haslar Capron, of Midhurst, in Sussex. 203. LADY’S DELIGHT.--H.
