232 CIDER APPLES. 



Granville. — A small red Somersetshire apple of good repute. 

 It is supposed to give a high colour to the cider. 



Green Styre. — A middle-sized apple, late in season, and a 

 good keeper. When it becomes yellow it is a good culinary apple, 

 and is often sold as such. The tree is very large, and bears 

 " tremendously." As a cider fruit it is also considered very good. 



Grittleton Red. — A very good cider apple for a mixture of 

 fruit, but has not sufficient character to be used alone. The tree 

 is a great bearer. 



Grittleton Yellow. — Is a Gloucestershire apple of good 

 repute in some districts. 



Guinea Apple. — A small apple which looks like a crab, but 

 is very sweet and luscious. It is chiefly found about UUingswick, and 

 the eastern side of the county. The fruit makes a rich red coloured 

 cider of good character, and deserves to be grown more than it is. 



Hall Door. — A large, red streaked apple, very conical in 

 shape, with a projecting snout. The trees crop well, and the fruit 

 sells readily in the market. This is its proper destination, for its 

 quaUties as a cider apple are but very moderate. 



Hanburies Kernel. — A red-streaked apple, above middle 

 size, good as cider or pot fruit. It was raised at Hanburies, in the 

 parsish of Bishop's Froome, and is spreading from thence in all 

 directions. 



Hangdown, or Horner. — A small yellow apple, in high 

 favour both in Devonshire and Somersetshire. The tree is small 

 and spreading. It blossoms very late, not until June, and bears 

 profusely. It is a late variety, and makes a good rich cider. 



Hard-Bearer. — A second early apple, " something like 

 Skyrnie's Kertiel, and quite as good." It is grown in the valley of 

 the Froome river. The fruit has a bitter-sweet, astringent flavour, 

 and makes excellent cider. 



Hatcher. — A Gloucestershire apple, green and russety, with 

 red streaks on the sunny side. The tree is middle-sized, and bears 

 abundantly. It is a late variety.
