Considerable changes in the value of varieties have taken 

 place since 1883, when the Horticultural Society's list was 

 compiled, many of the then highly placed sorts being now 

 less cultivated, while a considerable number of sorts which 

 then came low on the list are now much prized. As an 

 example, Lane's Prince Albert and Lord Suffield may be 

 compared. In British Apples, p. 159, the former was placed 

 forty-fifth on the list compared with first place for Lord Suffield. 

 In the Journal of Horticulture, Lane's Prince Albert was 

 bracketed second, while Lord Suffield was placed eleventh. 



The following list will show which apples are now considered 

 most valuable for market growing for the respective groups 

 of counties. The varieties must not, however, be supposed 

 to be given in order of merit, while they are not necessarily 

 the most desirable for private gardens.
