HESSLE. Her. Pom., I., 28. (Hasel.) Market 

 October, small, round, conical, even. Skin, fairly 

 smooth, covered with small russet dots. Colour, pale 

 yellow-brown. Flesh, pale yellow, juicy, a little sweet. 

 Eye, open in a shallow basin. Stem, f in., stout, 

 obliquely inserted. Growth, good, upright spreading ; 

 fertility excellent. Leaf, long, oval, nearly flat, entire, 

 Origin, found at the village of Hessle, Yorks. A hardy 

 prolific variety, thriving in the North and making a 

 good standard but of very poor quality. Hogg speaks 

 of another variety of the same name, but I have never 

 seen this.

 seldom met with, but is quite worthy of a place in 

 collections.
