Hormead Pearmain. The fruits keep sound until April, 

 and are then of dessert quality. The tree is a compact

Roundway Magnum Bonum. Fruit very large, of de- 

 licious aromatic flavour. The author considers this the 

 finest of dessert Apples. Growth, spreading. Does well 

 as standard or bush. Bears moderately, and is worthy of 

 a west wall. (December to January.) 



We do not enumerate many late-ripening Apples, as 

 they require a suitable store to keep them in plump con- 

 dition, but those who require more of this type should 

 consult the trade catalogues. 



Cooking Apples: White Transparent. A beautiful, 

 primrose-coloured fruit. The first to ripen. Good also 

 for dessert. The tree is of free growth and an abundant 

 cropper. (August and September.) 



Grenadier. The finest Codlin. Large. The tree is a 

 great bearer in any form. (September.) 



Lord Grosvenor. Habit of growth, compact ; very pro- 

 lific. Requires thinning as it bears in clusters. Excellent 

 cooker. (September and October.)
