2. Mr. Gladstone — very fine, good regular bearer, 

 of rather pendulous medium growth. Fruit with a 

 bright crimson-scarlet skin, rich aroma. Should be 

 sent to market before the fruits are fully ripe, or it 

 bruises in transit, and then only realises a small 

 price. July — August. 



3. Lady Sudeley — A grand September fruit, of 

 brilliant colour, rich aroma, growth spreading, fruiting 

 at the points — a splendid variety which succeeds well 

 both North and South ; sells best in boxes. Trees 

 pay for spur pruning, when they bear freely all over 

 the head. 



4. Worcester Pearmain — Of upright growth, a free 

 cropper, fruit of medium size, conical, very handsome, 

 with a bright crimson cheek. This has become the 

 best paying Autumn Apple, and is a great favourite 

 in the markets. September. 



No. 6,— Ben's Ked.
