Apple Day

CHARLES ROSS

Best known of this head gardener’s thirty varieties raised at Welford Park, Newbury, Berkshire between 1860-1908; cross between Peasgood’s Nonsuch and Cox’s Orange Pippin. Good on chalky soils; a very handsome cooking apple, yellowish-green, light red flush of broken red stripes, crisp, sweet and flavoursome.
