Pomologia Batava

Oranje-Appel Oranje-Appel. "...Deze schoone appel is van eene citroen-gele kleur met eenige kleine geel-groene stipjes. Aan de zonzijde vereenigt zich het geel met eene karmozijn-roode kleur, waarop vele, meer rood gekleurde, ronde, afgezonderde en onder elkander staande vlekjes geplaatst zijn." From Pomologia Batava by M. van Noort (Leyden : C.C. van der Hoek, 1830) - part of a nice collection of Old Fruit Books at the Wageningen UR Library. "...The Special Collections of the Wageningen UR Library has a substantial collection of historic fruit literature, books on fruit growing, fruit crops and nursery catalogues with fruit varieties from the end of the 15th century till the end of the 20th century."
