APPLES. 187 



RED INGESTRIE. Fruit, small, two inches and a half wide, and 

 two inches and a quarter high ; round, regularly and handsomely 

 shaped, or short cylindrical, undulating at the apex. Skin, rich 

 golden yellow, with an orange blush on the side next the sun, and 

 strewed with russet specks. Eye, wide open, with reflexed segments, 

 set in a shallow, plaited, saucer-like basin. Stamens, basal ; tube, 

 funnel-shaped. Stalk, short and slender, inserted in a close and not 

 deep cavity, which is lined with greenish grey russet. Flesh, tender, 

 yellow, juicy, and with a brisk, agreeable flavour. Cells, elliptical ; 

 axile. 



A dessert apple of first-rate quality ; in use during October and 

 November. It is very apt to be taken for Golden Winter Pearmain, 

 the shape, colour, eye, and rather knobbed crown favouring the re- 

 semblance ; but it is more oblate, and the stamens are always basal. 



This excellent little apple was raised by Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq., from 

 the seed of the Orange Pippin impregnated with the Golden Pippin, about the year 

 1800. It, and the Yellow Ingestrie, were the produce of two pips taken from the 

 same cell of an apple. The original trees are said to be still in existence at 

 "Wormsley Grunge, in Herefordshire.

RED MUST. Fruit, nearly, if not quite, the largest cider apple 

 cultivated in Herefordshire. It is rather broad and flattened, a little 

 irregular at its base, which is hollow. Stalk, slender. Crown, sunk. 

 Eye, deep, with a stout erect calyx. Skin, greenish yellow on the 

 shaded side, with a deep rosy colour where exposed to the sun, and 

 shaded with a darker red (Lindley). 



The Red Must has at all periods been esteemed a good cider apple, 

 though the ciders lately made with it, unmixed with other apples, have 

 been light and thin, and I have never found the specific gravity of its 

 expressed juice to exceed 1064 (Knight). 



RED NORMAN. Fruit, small, two inches and an eighth wide, and 

 the same in height ; conical, sometimes long conical, with a waist near 

 the apex, where it is puckered. Skin, smooth, lemon yellow, with a 

 faint blush of red on the side exposed to the sun, the surface sparingly 

 strewed with minute russet points. Eye, small, closed, with connivent 

 segments, set in a shallow puckered basin. Stamens, marginal ; tube, 

 very deep, funnel-shaped. Stalk, half an inch long, slender, obliquely 

 inserted, and curved, frequently with a swelling on one side of it. 

 Flesh, greenish yellow, not very juicy, woolly, and sweet. Cells, very 

 large, ovate, pointed ; axile, closed.
