Fruit, small, about two inches and a quarter broad, and the same in height; roundish-ovate, and broadest at the base. Skin, of a fine deep yellow color, like a Golden Pippin, but almost entirely covered with russet, which is brown on the shaded side, and grey where exposed to the sun, mixed with a tinge of redish brown. Eye, small and open, set in a round, wide, and rather deep basin. Stalk, half-an-inch long, inserted in a rather shallow cavity. Flesh, yellowish-white, tender, crisp, rich, sugary, and aromatic, partaking much of the flavor of Anise--hence the origin of one of the synonymes. An excellent dessert apple, and when well ripened is considered of first-rate quality by those who are partial to its peculiar flavor. It is in season from December to March, and at an advanced period becomes woolly. The tree is a small and slender grower; but an abundant bearer. It requires a rich soil and warm situation, and succeeds well as a dwarf on the paradise stock. 122. FENOUILLET JAUNE.--Duh. IDENTIFICATION.--Duh. Arb. Fruit. i. 290. Down. Fr. Amer. 109. Bon. Jard.

Fruit. ed. 2, pl. 105. Fruit, small, two inches and a quarter broad, and an inch and three quarters high; roundish, flattened, and broadest at the base; even and regularly formed. Skin, fine bright yellow, marked with reticulations of pale brown russet. Eye, small and closed, set in a wide and pretty deep basin. Stalk, short and stout, inserted in a deep and funnel-shaped cavity. Flesh, white, firm, sugary, and richly perfumed. A delicious little dessert apple; in use from December to April. The tree is a free grower, quite hardy, and an excellent bearer; but requires a light and warm soil. According to Knoop, this apple is called Pomme de Caractère, from the linear tracings of russet with which it is covered, being so disposed as to give it the appearance of being marked with letters or _characters_. 123.
