PLATE LXXII. 
5. TANNER’S RED. 
This apple is without any known history. It is grown very much, and seems to have 
originated in the neighbourhood of Canon Pyon. 
Description. —Fruit : below medium size, oblong. Skin : more or less red on the whole 
surface, but much more deeply so on the side next the sun, and everywhere marked with thin 
stripes of a deeper colour. Eye : closed, set in a small and very puckered basin. Stalk : slender, 
half an inch long, and set in a narrow cavity, which is usually lined with russet. Juice : plentiful, 
rosy amber, subacid, with some astringency. 
The chemical analysis of the juice (1883) by Mr. G. H. With, F.R.A.S., gave the following 
results :— 
Density of the fresh filtered juice ... ... ... 1*060 
Ditto ditto after 24 hours’ exposure ... ... 1*060 
One hundred parts of the juice by weight yielded of— 
Sugar ... ... ... ... ... 11-424 
Tannin, Mucilage, Salts, &c. ... ... ... 2*176 
Water .... ... ... ... 86*400 
The tree is hardy, and bears an abundance of late-keeping fruit.
