NEW CIDER APPLES. 61 



cider, I should confine myself to a few sorts 

 for if we have those sorts which are good, and 

 good bearers, what can we wish more ? I should 

 therefore recommend the following : 



Court of Wyck Pippin Kirke's Lord Nelson 



Foxley Apple Kirke's Seedling Golden 



Downton Pippin Pippin 



Cockagee Franklin's Golden Pippin 



The most favourite cider apple now in culti- 

 vation, is the cockagee ; I am informed by. some 

 of our principal cider merchants it is decidedly 

 the best for bottling, and will bring the great- 

 est price; therefore, as this apple is a good 

 bearer, and a free grower, it would be the most 

 profitable of any to plant for cider. 



Kirke's Lord Nelson, is not much known at 

 present as a cider fruit, but this apple, which is 

 a good bearer, produces a large quantity of fine 

 astringent saccharine juice, and makes a most 

 excellent cider to drink from the cask. 



List of apples from one to twelve sorts recom- 

 mended for small gardens.
