2 28 CIDER APPLES. 



Bromesberrow Crab. — An apple mentioned by Evelyn, and 

 formerly in high repute. It is not now met with, and those shown 

 as such did not answer to its old character. 



Brownseys. — A Somersetshire apple, large and striped. It is 

 usually sold as a table fruit, but is often used as a cask filler. 



Brown Snout, or Pointed Brown Snout. — A very good late 

 apple. The tree grows freely, and is a very heavy cropper. The 

 apple is green in colour, and firm in substance. It has a projecting 

 eye. It is a bittersweet, and makes good cider. 



Bull's Eye. — A red apple of medium size, hard in texture, and 

 a late keeper. The tree bears well. There are many trees in the 

 parish of Marden. They droop in growth, bear well, and the fruit 

 is much esteemed for the quality of its cider. 



Cabbage Apple. — A large green apple grown in Gloucester- 

 shire. The tree is erect, and bears well. It is a midseason apple, 

 and is often sold as pot fruit. 



Canon Apple. — An apple of some repute at Canon Pyon. It 

 is a pleasant looking fruit, but the examination of its juice was not 

 satisfactory. It can only be classed as a cask filler, which requires 

 body and flavour from other fruits. 



Candid Heart. — -An apple above middle size, good either 

 for cooking purposes, or for cider. It is a great and constant bearer. 



Canon Bitter-Sweet. — A greenish, slightly streaked apple, 

 of medium size. The tree bears freely. Its fruit is late in season, 

 and is esteemed for its cider. 



Captain Nurse, Captain's Kernel, or Nurse's Kernel. — 

 A Gloucestershire apple, much streaked and coloured with red. 

 The tree grows slowly, but bears well when full grown. It is a late 

 variety, but has not much character as a cider fruit. 



Chaxhill Red. — A very beautiful little Gloucestershire apple, 

 which received a first-class certificate at Gloucester (1873) "for its 

 excellence as a cider fruit." It was raised from seed by Mr, 

 Bennett, of Chaxhill, Westbury-on-Severn. Its juice, however, is 

 poor and thin, and it has not therefore maintained its character as 

 a cider apple.
