APPLES. 119 



BED HAWTHORNDEN.— Fruit, large and oblate, with four very 

 obtuse angles on the sides ; the crown is flat, and there is only a slight 

 depression in which the eye is placed. Skin, smooth, greenish yellow, 

 with a red blush next the sun. Eye, small and closed, set in a shallow 

 depression. Stalk, very short, set in a very deep cavity. Flesh, 

 white, tender, and juicy, with a sprightly and agreeable acidity. 



This very early and valuable culinary apple comes into use in the 

 end of August and beginning of September. The tree is a good 

 grower as a standard or trained, but is not suitable for a pyramid. 



This excellent apple was sent me by Mr. Richard Smith, of Worcester. 



RED INGESTRIE.— Fruit, small, two inches and a half wide, and 

 two inches and a quarter high ; ovate, regularly and handsomely 

 shaped. Skin, clear bright yellow, tinged and mottled with red on 

 the side exposed to the sun, and strewed with numerous pearly specks. 

 Eye, small, set in a wide and even basin. Stalk, short and slender, 

 inserted in a small and shallow cavity. Flesh, yellowish, firm, juicy, 

 and highly flavoured. 



A dessert apple of first-rate quality ; in use during October and 

 November. 



This excellent little apple was raised by Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq., from 

 the seed of the Orange Pippin impregnated with the Golden Pippin, about the year 

 1800. It, and the Yellow Ingeatrie, were the prodace of two pips taken from the 

 same cell of the core. The original trees are still in existence at Wormsley 

 Grange, in Herefordshire.

RED MUST. — 'Fruit, nearly, if not quite, the largest cider apple 

 cultivated in Herefordshire. It is rather broad and flattened, a little 

 irregular at its base, which is hollow. Stalk, slender. Crown, sunk. 

 Eye, deep, with a stout erect calyx. Skin, greenish yellow on the 

 shaded side, with a deep rosy colour where exposed to the sun, and 

 shaded with a darker red (Lindley). 



The Red Must has at all periods been esteemed a good cider apple, 

 though the ciders lately made with it, unmixed with other apples, have 

 been light and thin, and I have never found the specific gravity of its 

 expressed juice to exceed 1064 (Knight).

 red, streaked with deeper red, on the side next the sun. Eye, small, 

 with convergent segments, set in a rather deep basin. Stalk, short 

 and slender. Flesh, yellow, firm, crisp, and rather dry. 



Specific gravity of the juice, 1079.
