Many trees of the Pawsan are found in the south-east, or Ryland district of Herefordshire, which have apparently stood more than a century. Its pulp is exceedingly rich and yellow, and in some seasons it affords cider of the finest quality. Its name cannot be traced to any probable source. 261. PEARSON’S PLATE.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 565. Down. Fr. Amer. 126. [Illustration] Fruit, small; roundish, inclining to oblate, regularly and handsomely formed. Skin, smooth, greenish-yellow in the shade; but washed with red, and streaked with deeper red on the side next the sun. Eye, open, with short segments, set in a shallow and plaited basin. Stalk, half-an-inch long, inserted in a round and rather shallow cavity. Flesh, greenish-yellow, firm, crisp, and juicy, with a rich, and brisk sugary flavor, somewhat resembling the Nonpareil. A most delicious little dessert apple of the first quality; it is in use from December to March. In some specimens of the fruit there is no red color, but altogether green, and covered with thin brown russet. 262. PENNINGTON’S SEEDLING.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 571. Lind. Guide, 93. Down. Fr. Amer. 127. Fruit, medium sized, three inches wide, and two inches and three quarters deep; oblato-ovate. Skin, green at first, changing to yellowish-green, and covered with large russety spots on the shaded side; but with rough brown russet and a tinge of brown on the side next the sun. Eye, closed, with long and narrow segments, set in a round, shallow, and undulating basin. Stalk, an inch long, stout, and straight, inserted in a wide and shallow cavity. Flesh, yellowish, firm, crisp, juicy, sugary and brisk; with an excellent aromatic flavor. A dessert apple of the highest excellence, either as a dessert or a culinary fruit; it is in use from November to March. 263. PETIT JEAN.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 581. Lind. Guide, 79. Hort. Trans. vol. iv. p. 525. Fruit, small; oval, and flattened at the ends. Skin, almost entirely covered with brilliant red; but where shaded, it is pale yellow marked with a few stripes of red. Eye, small, set in a narrow basin. Stalk, very short, and inserted in a deep cavity. Flesh, very white and tender, with a mild and agreeable flavor. By some considered as a dessert apple; but of inferior quality. Mr. Thompson thinks it may, perhaps, do for cider; it is in use from November to March. The tree is a very abundant bearer. This is a Jersey apple, and has for a long period been cultivated in the orchards of that Island. It was transmitted to the gardens of the London Horticultural Society, by Major General Le Couteur, of Jersey, in the year 1822. 264. PETWORTH NONPAREIL.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc.
