There are certain apples of which the ground colour 

 turns quite white when fully ripe, e.g., Lord Grosvenor 

 in the Codlins and Emperor Alexander in the striped 

 group, these are marked with a dagger. Large fruits 

 are printed in the large type, and medium in medium, 

 and small in italics. 



Other special marks will be found in the different 

 talks. Thus if a flat green apple is found, of which the 

 cross section is round, e.g., Ecklinville Seedling and the 

 r-eison is not known, it will only be necessary to glance 

 'down 'the column headed " Flat " and pick out those 

 marked with the asterisk. Similarly if the apple turns 

 white it will only be necessary to refer to those marked 

 with the dagger. 



Table I. Lord Derby Group. This contains the green 

 skinned apples which are not striped and only rarely 

 flushed of which Lord Derb}^ may be considered a type. 

 In this come the Codlins and large cooking apples, 

 which are as a rule green when on the tree. They 

 are all such as would be classed as cooking apples. 

 There are, however, a tew which turn white on the tree 

 such as Lord Grosvenor, Domino, Venus Pippin. These 

 are marked with a dagger to show this typical character, 

 as described above. 



Table II. Lanes Group. This contains those 

 smooth skinned apples which will also in most cases 

 be classed as " cookers " but which are distinctly 

 striped, the typical representative being Lanes Prince 

 Albert. A few here are a little sweet and are specially 

 designated by //. 



Table III. Peasgood Group. This contains the 

 smooth skinned striped apples which are nearly all 

 of sufficient sweetness to be classed as dessert. In 

 cases where doubt might exist as to this quality, they 

 are also placed in Table II. 



All these have the stripes distinctly marked and not 

 obscured by any extent of flush.
