CIDER APPLES. 



121 



The juice of the Foxwhelp Apple is, however, most used to 

 give strength and flavour to the cider of mixed fruit, and when this 

 is well made, it is perhaps more generally popular than the very 

 strong and pure Foxiuhelp. A cider of this kind, excellent in 

 quality, can be got at one shilling a bottle from the growers. The 

 Foxwhelp cider has the character of changing colour very quickly, on 

 exposure to the air, and even at the table, if not drunk quickly, 

 the dusky greenish tint will show itself. Some other strong ciders 

 have also this peculiarity, which is certainly not a virtue. 



The Foxwhelp^ beyond all question, in general estimation is 

 the most valuable cider apple, and by intelligent perseverance in 

 propagating it, it will long continue to be so. 



The Woolhope Club, it will be seen on reference to page 26 of 

 this work, has succeeded m propagating it extensively, and will thus 

 have rescued this valuable variety from loss.
