592 JOUJRNAL OF THE EOYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Blenheim Orange is a very uncertain variety in Yorkshire, as the 

 report shows, where it is eighteen times noted as unsatisfactory. The 

 chief complaints are : (1) it cankers badly ; (2) it does not bear well ; (3) 

 as the tree flowers early, its blossoms are liable to be cut off by frost. 



Bramley's Seedling. — -Where this is unsatisfactory it is as a shy 

 bearer but a strong grower. These are chiefly young trees ; as they get 

 older they will probably bear better. Grafts on old Apple stocks are 

 generally satisfactory. 



Cellini is a good Apple generally, but in some places it cankers badly. 



Cox's Pomona. — A very hardy variety, and a favourite in places. 



r The Cockpits are largely grown in Yorkshire for 



Cockpit, Old J market. They are very hardy ; crop well. Some are 



Cockpit, New i discarding these for better varieties. Useful varieties 

 I in exposed positions. 



Dumelow's Seedling. — A good Apple, but cankers badly in places. 



Ecklinville Seedling. — A grand Apple in most parts. 



Hawthornden ) Good hardy varieties for the hilly districts 



Hawthornden, New J canker in some soils. 



Lane's Prince Albert. — A grand Apple for Yorkshire. 



Lord Derby. — Also one of the best ; reports unsatisfactory in two places. 



Lord Grosvenor is well spoken of where it succeeds. 



Lord Suffield. — A most uncertain Apple, although good where it does 

 well. It cankers very badly in many places ; even in some noted as satisfac- 

 tory it is liable to canker. Some gardeners, as soon as the disease begins to 

 get bad, cut off the branches, and the fresh breaks will do well for a time. 



Keswick Codlin. — One of the hardiest varieties, and a favourite in 

 Yorkshire. 



Peasgood's Nonesuch. — Generally very good ; sometimes a shy bearer. 



Stirling Castle. — A most useful and generally a reliable Apple. 



Tower of Glamis is still a favourite. 



Warner's King. — Cankers in places, in others very good. 



Yorkshire Greening. — A good hardy Apple.
