76 APPLES. 



Fruit middle-sized, conical, two inches and a half deep, 

 and two inches and three quarters in diameter, a little angu- 

 lar on its sides, which terminate irregularly in the crown. 

 Eye small, with a closed calyx, rather deeply sunk in an un- 

 even, irregularly plaited basin. Stalk short, inserted in a 

 narrow, shallow cavity, not protruded beyond the base. 

 Skin smooth, pale lemon colour quite round the fruit, with a 

 few greenish specks interspersed. Flesh rather soft, yel- 

 lowish white. Juice sharp acid, with an unpleasant astrin- 

 gency. 



This apple produces the well known, and by some highly 

 esteemed, Coccagee Gider. Mr. Forsyth describes it as 

 of a red colour next the sun ; but those which were given 

 me by Mr. Kirke were perfectly free from red in every part. 

 I had no means of ascertaining the specific gravity of its 

 juice. 



196. COWARNE RED. Pom. TJeref. t. 28. 



Fruit of a pretty good size, a little more long than broad, 

 but narrow at the crown, in which appear a few obtuse and 

 undefined plaits. Eye small, with very short converging 

 segments of the calyx. Stalk hardly half an inch long, very 

 stiff and straight. Skin, a small part of it pale gold on the 

 shady side and round the base, but of a bright red over a 

 great part, and where fully exposed to the sun of an intense 

 deep purplish crimson : there are numerous short streaks 

 which mark the shady side of the fruit.

The trees of this sort grow to a large size, and are great 

 bearers. Its name arises from the parish of Cowarne, near 

 Bromyard, in Herefordshire, where it was first raised some- 

 thing more than a century ago. This name does not occur 

 in the old catalogues. 



DOWNTON PIPPIN. See No. 50. 



This apple sprang like the Grange Apple, and in the same 

 year, from a seed of the Orange Pippin, and the pollen of 

 the Golden Pippin. The original tree, with that of the 

 Grange Apple, is growing at Wormsley Grange, in Here- 

 fordshire, The young trees very soon come into bearing, 

 id the fruit is excellent.
