A New Apple.
An excellent late apple, is King Edward VII, the result of a cross between Blenheim Orange and Golden Noble. It was shown at a meeting of the fruit committee of the Royal Horticultural Society on Tuesday, the 24th ult., and given an award of merit. Many of the members of the committee were in favour, we understand, of a first-class certificate, which may, however, yet be given. It may be used for dessert, but it is chiefly valuable as a late cooking variety. It is of a pale golden colour very similar to Golden Noble, but in general outline it partakes more of Blenheim Orange, and is said to have its flavour. The raiser’s description is as follows: Great and regular bearer, upright grower, shortjointed, very late bloomer, escaping many frosts; fruit solid, heavy, about the size of a fine Blenheim Orange, and keeps well till June; excellent for dessert and cooking. It was exhibited by Messrs W.' B. Rowe and Sons, Barbourne Nurseries, Worcester, and is' certainly one of late apples of the future. —Garden.
