a great depth. Cox's Orange Pippin, in this district, is very 

 liable to canker, scarcely a tree being clear, yet it bears 

 enormously, and is planted extensively. Margil is not very 

 generally grown, yet, where it is, it always bears a good character. 

 Cornish Gilliflower is even a greater favourite as a late dessert 

 Apple. For 'kitchen use, Winter Quoining is much grown here, 

 and bears very well. Wellington (Dumelow's Seedling) is being 

 largely planted in this district, but a great many object to it as a 

 cropper. Gooseberry Apple, named Golding now, is an indis- 

 pensable variety, keeping long into summer. It will indeed keep 

 for nearly two years, but it is not grown to any extent. Round 

 Winter Nonesuch is one of the best, as it never fails to crop, 

 whether it be a good season or bad. Forge Apple is very good, 

 though not a general favourite. The Apples named are general 

 favourites, and recommended to be planted for market use.
