The following varieties were exhibited at the Hereford Apple 

 Shows, held under the auspices of the Woolhope Club in the years 

 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881, and 1883. They have not been described 

 in the preceding pages. Their merits, for the most part, have not 

 been accurately ascertained, though some of them are of excellent 

 quality. They are placed alphabetically, with such observations 

 about them, as have been obtained from the growers. Numerous, 

 other varieties have also been shewn, but they were alike wanting 

 in name, history, and character. 



Alford, or Sweet Alford. — A white Devonshire apple, of 

 middle size. The tree is large and spreading, and bears freely. It 

 is a late variety, has a sweet rich juice, and makes very good cider.
