APPLES. 7 



I find no such name as Quarenden in the county. It 

 is common in Somersetshire and Gloucestershire, where 

 it is very much and very justly esteemed.

Fruit of the usual codlin shape, about three inches 

 in diameter at the base, and two inches and three quar- 

 ters deep, slightly angular on its sides, and tapering to 

 a narrow crown. Eye closed by broad, short segments 

 of the calyx, slightly sunk in a narrow, oblique, plaited
