A NEW ENGLISH APPLE

KING- GEORGE V. Raised froma pip of Cox's Orange Pippin by Lady Thornycroft, this is totally different" from the seed parent in appearance, and the flowers may have been crossed will) another variety The fruit is of good average size for a Cox's Orange Pippin, but broader than deep, with long green calyx lobes that do not completely close the eye. Uho skin is pale green with a flush of red on the sunny side. The flavour is as good as Cox’s, and when that variety is getting too old, King George V. takes its place. The award of merit had been previously recommended, and the Fruit Committee confirmed the award at a recent fruit and vegetable show. NEW AMERICAN APPLIES.
