LORD CR08VEN0R. Aug.— Sept. 



Culinary variety of good quality with season similar to Grenadier. Large, 

 pale, greenish yellow. Carries fairly well if not too ripe. A very heavy 

 cropper and usually requires thinning. Growth weak and comparatively 

 upright. Grown as a- bush on "free " stock and useful £is a lilJer. Subject 

 to canker and scab on many soils. 



NEWTON WONDER. Nov.— Feb. 



The second best late -keeping cooker. Large, golden-yellow, richly flushed 

 with red. Good quality. Carries and keejDS well. Small grades, if kept until 

 after Christmas often sells well for dessert purposes. A good cropper but 

 inclined to be biennial in this respect. Growth strong, and forms a large tree 

 more upright than spreading and not quite so large as Bramley's Seedling. 

 Used for permanent bush, half -standard or standard. Bush trees should be 

 worked on a dwarfing stock. Where the situation or soil is unsuitable it is 

 subject to scab, canker and also bitter pit. On soils overlying chalk it 

 succeeds better than any other variety. 



RIVAL. Oct.— Dec. 



A dessert variety overlapping in season with Allington Pippin. Medium 

 to large, golden-yellow, flushed with scarlet when exposed to sun. Flavour 

 and quality good. Flesh very firm. Carries well. Not a quick bearer but 

 crops heavily when started. A strong grower forming a compact tree. Best 

 grown as bush tree on dwarfing stock or as a cordon. Usually free from scab 

 but inclined to canker. Does not like heavy soils. Has not been grown for 

 market long enough definitely to prove its worth, but shows great promise. 



ROYAL JUBILEE— GRAHAM'S. Oct.— Dec. 



Good quality mid-season culinary apple, ranking after Lord Derby in 

 market value. Large. Lemon-yellow, sometimes witli a rosy flush. Carries 

 well. Rather slow-bearing but old trees crop heavily. Blossoms late and 

 escapes late frosts. Growth spreading, sturdy and of medium strength. 

 Forms a good-sized bush. Suitable for permanent tree or filler. Free from 

 canker. Its shape makes it rather unsuitable for market purposes and it is 

 little known as a market variety. 



STIRLING CASTLE. Sept.— Oct. 



Useful culinary apple. Season slightly later than Grenadier. Good 

 quality, medium size, yellowish-green. Carries fairly well but flesh inclined to 

 be soft. Very early bearing and a regular cropper. A very weak grower 

 and should be grown as bush on "free " stock. Used as a filler. Trees over 

 10 years old are very susceptible to canker, and therefore not suitable for 

 permanent trees. 



WARNER'S KING. Oct.— Nov. 



An excellent cooker. Large, pale yellow. Carries quite well and is a 

 good cropper. Growth strong, forming a large, upright tree. Bush trees 

 should be on dwarfing stock. Does not like cold soils. Is very susceptible 

 to canker, and for this reason should seldom be planted. 



WORCESTER PEARMAIN. Sept— Oct. 



Popular and valuable dessert apple of fair quality. Medium to small in size. 

 Grange, often completely flushed into scarlet. Cairies well, crops heavily 

 and regularly, and is in great demand. A moderately strong grower of 

 upright habit. Best grown as bush or half -standard on "free" stock. 

 Cankers badly on some soils and is inclined to scab. Always sells well owing 

 to brilliant colour.
