Selection of Ten Vaeieties suited foe Market Culture. 



Keswick Codlin, Lord Suffield, Berkshire Glory, Fearn's 

 Pippin, King Pippin, Blenheim Orange, Hanwell Souring, 

 Lemon Pippin, Wellington, French Crab. These sorts are 

 largely grown here. 



Some orchards very exposed, others partly sheltered. Soil, 

 rather light, resting on chalk. 



General Remarks. 



Mostly all trees in this district are on the Crab stock, and 

 grown as Standards on grass, which is mown, and fed off by 

 sheep and cattle. Orchards are fairly attended to, as to keeping 

 the centres of the trees open, all dead and useless wood being 

 cut out, old sorts being discarded, and grafting and planting the 

 sorts most in demand for the markets, by the more energetic 

 fruit growers.

 Berkshire. 



Selected (1883) by Mr. S. Mortimer, Purley Park, and 

 Mr. C. Ross, Welford Park.
