[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.
