18 APPLES. 



An excellent culinary fruit from Michaelmas to 

 Christmas. This is a very valuable apple, and a most 

 excellent bearer. The extreme buds are mostly blossom 

 buds, which occasion the branches to become pendulous 

 when the fruit is fully grown. It is said to have origin- 

 ated at Hawthornden, near Edinburgh, where Drum- 

 mond the poet was born.
