THE APPLE.--ITS VARIETIES.
1. ACKLAM’S RUSSET.--Fors.
IDENTIFICATION.--Fors. Treat. 92. Lind. Guide, 85. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed.
3, n. 733.
SYNONYME.--Aclemy Russet, _Gibs. Fr. Gard._ 359.
Fruit, below the medium size, two inches and a quarter wide, and two
inches high; round and somewhat flattened. Skin, pale yellow tinged
with green, and covered with thin grey russet, particularly on the side
exposed to the sun. Eye, small and closed, set in a smooth, round, and
shallow basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a moderately deep cavity.
Flesh, white with a greenish tinge, firm, crisp, juicy, and highly
flavoured.
An excellent dessert apple of first-rate quality; ripe in November, and
will keep under favourable circumstances till March.
The tree is very hardy, and an excellent bearer. It succeeds best in a
dry soil, and is well adapted for espalier training.
This variety is supposed to have originated at the village of Acklam,
in Yorkshire.
