PLATE LXXIV. 
6. TYLER’S KERNEL. 
This fruit has been an unrecorded denizen of the Herefordshire orchards for a long period. 
It was brought into notice by the Hereford Fruit Shows, and received a certificate from the Royal 
Horticultural Society of London, in October, 1883. 
Description.— Fruit: large, three inches wide, and two inches and a half high, conical, larger 
on one side than the other. Skin : greenish yellow on the shaded side, with a blush of crimson 
on the side next the sun, and with broken streaks of a deeper colour; these streaks appear more 
faintly over the general surface of the fruit. Eye : closed, set in a narrow, deep, and irregular basin. 
Stalk : short, half an inch long, set in a narrow, and deep cavity, lined with russet, which russet 
spreads in streaks over the base of the apple. Flesh : white, moderately firm, sweet and pleasantly 
flavoured. 
The fruit is in season from October to December. Its chief use is as a dessert fruit, and it 
makes a handsome dish on the table. It has been called a conical Blenheim Orange , from its 
resemblance in colour to this fruit. 
The tree grows freely, and bears well. It is best grown as an orchard tree.
