the distinguished authors of the great French work *' Le Cidre ") ; 

 Monsieur Michehn, of Paris (one of the original promoters of the 

 Congress appointed by the French Government for the study of 

 Cider Fruits); Monsieur Heron (President of the Societe Centrale 

 d' Horticulture de la Seine Inferieure) ; Monsieur Legrand, 

 Nurseryman at Yvetot ; Monsieur Lesueur, of Rouen, and other 

 Norman growers of Cider Fruits ; your Committee have selected 

 eight varieties, which meet all the requirements laid down for 

 their guidance. 



The Apples selected were Argile Grise, Bedan-des-parts, 

 Bramtot, De Boutteville, Frequin Audievre, Medaille 

 d'or, Michelin, and Rouge Bruyere. 



Trees of all these valuable varieties of true Norman Apples 

 have been sent to Messrs. Cranston and Co., King's Acre, Here- 

 ford, who will propagate carefully from them. It is believed 

 that they will prove very valuable in the orchards of Hereford- 

 shire. 



The table on page 90 gives a summary of their virtues. 



Your Representatives, in conclusion, desire to express their 

 sense of the great kindness and courtesy shown to them during 

 their visit to Rouen.
