5. EVE OR EGG APPLE. 
A very pretty tempting sort. It is mucli grown on the banks of the Clyde, of middle 
size, egg-shaped, straw-colour, a little striped ; the stalk small, the eye prominent: it 
has a pleasant flavour, and is a useful apple either for the table or kitchen. It is in 
perfection from October till January. A healthy and free grower. 
6. HICKS’S FANCY. 
A dessert apple, rather under the middle size, of a globular form, a little contracted 
towards the eye, which is prominent; the colour pea-green with some russet: it is 
remarkably juicy and of poignant flavour when taken fresh from the tree in October 
or beginning of November. Of upright and rather delicate growth, but a good bearer.
