PYM SQUARE. 



[Syn : Izai'd's Kernel ; Eggleton Redi\ 



This variety originated at Eastnor Farm, near Eastnor Castle, 

 Ledbury. Mr. Henry Izard some forty years ago (c. 1839), when 

 staying there as a boy, planted three pips of an apple he was eating, 

 in a flower pot. The seedHngs were afterwards planted by Charles 

 Bourne, the gardener from Ledbury, in a waste corner of the 

 garden. In due course they were grafted on young crab stocks. 

 This plant grew very vigorously, and bore fruit the second year after 

 grafting. The two others proved worthless. Bourne called it 

 Izard's Kernel, but it afterwards got the name of Fym Square, 

 under the mistaken idea that it was a Devonshire apple introduced
