CIDER APPLES. 



* Herefordshire Redstreak. An old 

 fruit which can no longer be propagated. 

 This was once much esteemed for cider. 

 The specific weight of the juice when re- 

 cently expressed was .1079. 



The Golden Pipjmi, This is evi- 

 dently getting into decay from age, it 

 has for many years retained the character 

 of a prime cider apple. 



The Fox Whelp. Many of the old 

 trees of this variety still appear healthy and 

 vigorous, though grafts taken from them 

 do not grow well, some attempts are 

 nevertheless still made to propagate it. 

 The specific gravity of the juice of healthy 

 fruit I found to be .107(3, and in small 

 and shrivelled fruit to be . 1080. 



* Vide Pomona Herefordiensis.
