I am anxious to add a postscript to my report of above Exhibition in refer- 

 ence to the Onibury Pippin. This excellent dessert Apple cannot be too widely 

 made known and recommended ; indeed, I believe it to be worthy a place in every 

 collection however small, where it might form a well-matched triplet with one of 

 the very best and hardiest culinary Apples, Wormsley Pippin, and that well- 

 known late dessert Pear, the Monarch ; all chef d\euvres of that indefatigable 

 pomologist, Andrew Knight. It was a subject of general regret that a choice 

 cellection of cider Apples (some fifty varieties), expressly sent from Normandy to 

 the Exhibition at Hereford, arrived too late. From a cursory glance I have had 

 there is hardly any resemblance to be now traced between them and our present 

 Norman cider varieties, presumed to have been introduced from Normandy into 

 our Herefordshire orchards by Lord Scudamore, of Holme Lacy, about the early 

 part of the seventeenth century. I will only mention that the nomenclature of 

 the several varieties, as now grown in the different countries, is as widely differ- 

 ent as their structural and other characteristics ; but this is not the occasion to 

 more than allude to this interesting subject. — The Herefordshire Incumbent.
