T28 CIDER APPLES. 



discovered, for his friends had sought in vain many years before, 

 for the original tree at Awre. A coloured illustration is given by 

 Mr. Knight, Plate V., of this apple. 



Description. — Fruit: small, ovate, narrowing above and below, 

 but very irregular in shape, being usually much more full on one 

 side than the other. Skin : pale yellow, with an orange tint on the 

 side next the sun, with distinct crimson spots irregularly placed, 

 and with occasional cob-web streaks of russet. Eye : small and 

 closed, with reflexed segments, very slightly depressed, and sur- 

 rounded with five or more small distinct tubercles. Stalk : thin, 

 half an inch long, set in a very narrow cavity, lined with thin 

 pale russet. Flesh : white, moderately firm. Juice : plentiful, 

 pale amber, sweetish and subacid, with some astringency. 



The chemical analysis of the juice of the Hagloe Crab (season 

 1882), by Mr. G. H. With, F.R.A.S., F.C.S., Trinity College, 

 Dubhn, gave the following results : — 



The Hagloe Crab seems to have disappeared from Hereford- 

 shire, for it has never once been shown at any of the apple shows 

 of the last five years. It is still to be found in the parishes of 

 Minsterworth, Westbury-on-Severn, Longney and Elmore, in 

 Gloucestershire. 



It will be seen on reference to page 26 of this work, that 

 Mr. William Viner Ellis, of Minsterworth, has sent apples and 

 grafts of this valuable variety to the Woolhope Club, and that 

 Messrs. Cranston and Co., of King's Acre, near Hereford, have 

 succeeded in propagating it.
