The Green Wilding grows in the valley of the river Froome, 

 where it is highly esteemed. It makes a good, sound, deep coloured

 It is grown chiefly about Eggleton, Homend, and in the adjoining 

 orchards, where many large trees are to be found. It is still being 

 propagated on that side of the county.
