felf ; but the Rule is, in fome Parts of this 
Country, to allow two Parts of this Apple, and 
one of the Corjiifo Apple, becaufe the former 
being of a (harp pleafant Flavour, and the 
latter of a fine pleafant Bitter, when mixed 
and made together, are thought to make the 
beft Cyder of any. And indeed I made fome 
Cyder of this Sort, that exceeded all I ever 
tafled. The White- four Apple is of a white 
Colour when full ripe, of a middling Size, and 
pretty early ripe. It bears well every other 
Year, and fometimes every Year. It is much 
propagated about Madbury in this County, its 
Original being thought to proceed from near that 
Town, and is very much in Efteem for im- 
proving old Apple-Trees, that bore little or bad 
Cyder-Fruit, by grafting the White-four on 
their old or new Heads. This Sort of Apple, 
as alfo that of the Cornijf: Sort, are commonly 
fold for Three-pence or Six-pence a Bulhel 
more than the common Cyder- Apples are. 
\ The Cornifh Cyder Apple . — This Sort of Fruit 
is little inferior in Goodnefs to the White-four 
Apple, by reafon of the fine bitterifh Flavour it 
gives the Cyder, and therefore they are beft 
grinded and preflfed together. Its Shape is 
roundi(h, and fomewhat fmaller than the White- 
four, and partly of a ftreaky reddifh, Colour. 
It is a hardy Sort, a very good Bearer, and of 
a flronger and rougher Nature than the White- 
four, therefore agrees very well with it in being 
made Into Cyder; and when it is fo, fuch Cy- 
der generally fells from five to ten Shillings a 
Hogfhead
