Rennett

This is the common name, not only in English, but, with slight modifications, in French, German, and other languages, of a class of apple, including many of the most beautiful and pleasant varieties. They are of a very regular and nearly globose shape; their skin has generally a rusty tinge, and often a kind of unctuousness to the touch; their flesh is finely granular, and besides being sweet and agreeably acid, they have a peculiar aromatic flavour. They do not keep well.
