Not illustrated. 1851 Excerpt: ...Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 743? Synonyme And Figure.--Nonpareil Jiusset, Ron. Pyr. Mai. 25, pi. xiii. f. 3. Fruit, small; conical and irregularly formed, being generally larger on one side than the other, and having the eye placed laterally. Skin, green, covered with large patches of thin grey russet, strewed with silvery scales, and marked with green dots. Eye, small and open, with segments reflexed at the tips, and set in a plaited basin. Stalk, short, and deeply inserted in an oblique cavity.

Eye, large and open, set in a small and shallow basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a rather small cavity. Flesh, firm, but tender, juicy, brisk and sugary, charged with a very rich, and powerful aromatic flavor. This is a dessert apple, of the highest excellence, and ought certainly to form one in every collection, however small; it is in season from October to February. T...
