C._ n. 189.
488. CREDE’S QUITTENREINETTE.
SYNONYMES.--Credos Gütten Reinette, _Hort. Soc. Cat._ ed. 3, n. 646.
Rather below medium size, two inches and a half wide, and two inches
and a quarter high; roundish. Skin, smooth, of an uniform fine lemon
color, when ripe, and strewed with star-like russety dots. Eye, open,
with long green segments, set in a pretty deep basin. Stalk, thin,
half-an-inch long, inserted in a wide, deep, and funnel-shaped cavity,
which is lined with russet. Flesh, of a beautiful white, very fine and
juicy, with a sugary, vinous, and quince flavor. It is in use from
December till spring.--_Diel Kernobst._ xxi. 105.

SYNONYMES.--Scarlet Queening; Summer Queening; Red Queening;
Herefordshire Queening.
A medium sized apple, of conical shape, red color, and second-rate
quality, suitable either for the dessert or culinary use; and in season
from December till March. It is not so rich as the Cornish Gilliflower,
but resembles it both in flavor and appearance.--_H. S. C._ n. 609.
490. CROOM PIPPIN.
A small, roundish, yellow apple; in use from December to January.--_H.
S. C._ n. 194.
491. CUMBERLAND PIPPIN.
Of medium size, roundish shape, prominently ribbed on the sides, and
pale green color, suitable for kitchen use; and in season during
December.--_H. S. C._ p. 12.
492. CURTIS.
A native of Virginia. The skin is smooth, of a red color; flesh, juicy
and pleasant. Ripe, middle to end of August.--_Ken. Amer. Or._ 59.
493. CYDER SOP.
A medium sized cider apple, of roundish-ovate shape, and yellow,
covered with brownish-red color.--_H. S. C._ p. 12.
494. DAISY.
A variety cultivated in the Carse of Gowrie orchards, it is a very
beautiful, small, sweet fruit, and not common.--_M. C. H. S._ iv. 472.
495. DALMAHOY PIPPIN.
This is about the size of a Golden Pippin, of a green color, and
a little streaked with red towards the sun, it has a tolerable
good flavor, rather sharp; and is in eating from September till
February.--_Fors. Treat._ 99.
496. DANVERS WINTER SWEET.
SYNONYME.--Epse’s Sweet.
In Massachusetts, from a town in which this variety takes its name, it
has for a long time been one of the best market apples; but we think it
inferior to the Ladies’ Sweeting. It is an abundant bearer, and a very
rapid tree in its growth.
Fruit, of medium size, roundish-oblong. Skin, smooth, dull yellow, with
an orange blush. Stalk, slender, inclining to one side. Calyx, set in
a smooth, narrow basin. Flesh, yellow, firm, sweet, and rich. It bakes
well, and is fit for use the whole winter, and often till April. _Down.
Fr. Amer._ 108.
497. DARLINGTON PIPPIN.
A medium sized dessert apple, of an oblate shape, green color, and
second-rate quality.--_H. S. C._ n. 199.
498. DEPTFORD INN.
