CIDER APPLES. 24I 



formerly held in great esteem and its juice had the specific gravity 

 of 1*073, but it has disappeared from our orchards of late years, 

 and the fruit exhibited at the apple shows has not been true to 

 character. 



WooDSELL. — An old variety of high repute. It is still grown 

 at Much Marcle, and here and there in the South Eastern side of 

 the county. Its cider, in a fine season, is said to be " as good as 

 Foxwhelp." It is certainly a valuable variety, and one that merits 

 more extensive cultivation. 



Yellow Styre. — This is a very excellent cider fruit. It is 

 grown more in West Worcestershire, at Bushley, Chaseley, Upton, 

 &c., than in Herefordshire. The trees that yet remain are very old, 

 and young ones have not been grafted. It well deserves further 

 propagation.
