THE MODERN BEAR-QUICK APPLE 301 



Beauty of Stoke. A newish late keeper. A Bear-quick 

 and of good flavour. 



This is a fairly long list, but it does not exhaust the 

 list of Apples that are good croppers, and are of agreeable 

 table quality. 



Waltham Abbey Seedling, Hoary Morning, Murfitt's 

 Seedling, Beauty of Kent, Yorkshire Beauty, Lady 

 Henniker, Mere de Menage, Gascoyne's Seedling, Northern 

 Greening and Bess Pool all have considerable merit. 



We may now proceed to name a few of the best dessert 

 Apples, placing them in approximate ripening order, as in 

 the case of the cooking sorts. 



Gladstone. Very early, bright in colour and a free 

 bearer, but only of moderate flavour. 



Irish Peach. A firmer and better-flavoured variety 

 than Gladstone, but a light bearer and a rather straggling 

 tree. 



Beauty of Bath. A small flat variety of good flavour 

 and a Bear-quick. One of the best of the very early 

 sorts. 



Duchess of Gloucester (Duchess's Favourite). A small 

 flat Apple of brilliant colour. 



Colonel Vaughan. A conical Apple of brilliant colour, 

 smaller than Worcester Pearmain. 



Worcester Pearmain. The best of the second earlies, a 

 Bear-quick, a sure yielder and makes a compact bush. 

 Flesh juicy but not of the richest flavour. 



Egremont Russet. A Bear-quick of excellent flavour, 

 ready in October. Crops well. 



Allington Pippin. A new variety of free and early 

 cropping powers, and only wanting a touch of rich flavour 

 to be one of the best. A variety of good constitution and 

 suitable for poor soil. 



James Grieve. A splendid new sort, a true Bear-quick*
