240 CIDER APPLES. 



red spots around the core, and hence gets its name. The tree 

 bears well, and the fruit is thought to make good cider. 



Trace Apple, or Traced Hereford (formerly called 

 Norman). — A Herefordshire seedling, which bears freely, and 

 keeps well, but which is without any very special merit as a cider 

 apple. 



Tremlett's Bitter. — A Devonshire bittersweet apple, above 

 middle size, and highly esteemed as a cider apple. 



Turk's Cap. — A large orange yellow apple, sprinkled with 

 grey dots. It has an acid, astringent taste. It is usually sold for 

 culinary purposes, but often finds its way to the cider mill.

 case. The tree moreover is a bad bearer,

Woodcock. — A very old variety mentioned by Phillips, and 

 figured by Mr. Knight in the " Pomona Herefordensis," It was
