that high culture can give, and the other possesses all its 

 native hardiness and vigour ; almost every possible combina- 

 tion and mixture of such characters (though the constitu- 

 tion of the female parent will generally be prevalent) will 

 be presented in the offspring ; and, without the aid of the 

 grafter, a Golden Pippin will sometimes, though rarely, be 

 seen to adorn the thorny branch of a Crabtree. 



The Foxley Apple will, I believe, be very generally 

 thought to deserve culture, as a tree of ornament, as well as 

 any of its species, or congeners ; for the colours of the fruit 

 are rather more intense and brilliant than the plate represents 

 them ; and I believe that no situation can be found, in 

 which our native Crab will grow, and produce fruit, where 

 the Foxley Apple will not afford a fine cider. 



The original Tree grows in my Nursery at Wormsley 

 Grange; but the fruit derived its name from Foxley, the 

 seat of my friend Mr. Uvedale Price ; in whose garden, on 

 a grafted Tree, it first acquired maturity. The specific 

 gravity of its juice is about 1080 ; and it obtained the an- 

 nual premium of the Herefordshire Agricultural Society 

 in 1808.
