MUNN'S RED. 



[Syn : Pretty Maid ; Greasy Apple.'] 



This apple derives its name from that of its producer, a house- 

 holder at Canon Pyon. It is widely grown in Herefordshire, and 

 attracts attention in most orchards by the remarkably bright and 

 glossy colour of its fruit. 



Description. — Fruit : round, sometimes slightly ovate, even 

 and regular in its outline. Skin : bright red, approaching scarlet, 

 mottled, and somewhat streaked with crimson over the whole 

 surface. Eye : closed, with convergent segments, set m a rather 

 deep basin, which is sometimes even and saucer-like, and sometimes 

 a little angular ; tube, short, funnel shaped ; stamens median. 

 Stalk : long, curved, and rather stout and woody, inserted in a very 

 deep, round cavity. Flesh : yellowish, with a stain of red from the 

 base of the eye round the carpels. Cells of the core, open ; cell- 

 walls, elliptical.
