xii EDITOR'S NOTE 



His friend and neighbour, Mr John Vivian of 

 Meadowside, Hayle, is the owner and creator of the 

 very beautiful garden and orchard in which were taken 

 most of the photographs in this book. 



Mr RadclifFe Cooke of Hellens, who, as member of 

 Parliament, as writer, and as maker of excellent cider, has 

 done as much as any living Englishman to popularise 

 what one can but hope will again be our really national 

 beverage, has given great help in the form of references 

 to cider-literature, ancient and recent. Those great 

 ciderists, Messrs Bulmer of Hereford have also given 

 the Editor valuable assistance of a similar kind. 



Messrs Barnett & Foster, of Eagle Wharf Road, 

 London ; Messrs Workman & Sons, of Slimbridge, 

 Stonehouse ; and Messrs Lumley & Co., of America 

 Square, Minories, London, are all makers of first-quality 

 machinery for the manufacture of cider, and to them the 

 Editor is indebted for permission to illustrate certain of 

 their special appliances. 



To the proprietors of The Morning Leader and The 

 Gardeners' Magazine the Editor is indebted for permission 

 to reprint one or two essays from his pen which have 

 appeared in their respective journals.
