APPLES. 



calyx. Stalk half an inch long, very slender. Skin, 

 on the shady side, a dull, dingy-coloured, russetty grey, 

 shaded on the sunny side with numerous streaks and 

 patches of orange colour and muddy red.

This apple has been chiefly cultivated in the deep and 

 strong soils of the south-west part of Herefordshire. It 

 affords excellent cider, when mixed with other varieties. 



Many of the trees are of great bulk, which prove it 

 to have been known in the seventeenth century. Its 

 name has, no doubt, been derived from the person who 

 first raised it from seed. 



194. BEST BACHE. Pom. Heref. t. 16. 

 Bache's Kernel. Jb. 



Fruit middle-sized, of an oblong shape, with two or 

 three obtuse angles, terminating at the crown. Eye 

 small ; segments of the calyx short and flat. Stalk short, 

 very stiff, so that the fruit is always in the direction of 

 the bud from which it sprang. Skin yellow, shaded 

 and streaked with light and deeper red, with now and 

 then a few black specks : these, however, are more to be 

 attributed to a crowded state of old trees, than a natural 

 appearance of healthy fruit from young trees in a state 

 of vigour, and in a kind season. 



This observation may be understood to hold good in 

 every description of our orchard fruit. 



Specific gravity of its Juice 1073. 



The origin of its name cannot be ascertained ; but ks 

 it has sometimes been called Bache's Kernel, it probably 

 has originated from the name of the person who first 

 raised it from seed. It is principally cultivated in the 

 south-east part of Herefordshire.
