“ Nec requies, quin aut pomis exuberet annus 
Aut foetu pecorum.” > 
Virgil. Geor. II, 516 — ij. 
The laded boughs their fruits in autumn bear. 
“ Quotque in floro novo pomis se fertilis arbos 
Induerat, totidem autumno matura tenebat.” 
Geor IV, 142 — 3. 
For every bloom his trees in spring afford 
An autumn apple was by tale restored. 
The following varieties were exhibited at the Hereford Apple Shows, held under the auspices 
of the Woolhope Club in the years 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1883. They have not been described 
in the preceding pages. Their merits for the most part have not been accurately ascertained, 
though some of them are of excellent quality. They are placed alphabetically, with such 
observations about them, as have been obtained from the growers. Numerous other varieties 
were also shewn, but they were alike wanting in name, history, and character. 
Alford, or Sweet Alford.—A white Devonshire 
apple, of middle size. The tree is large and spreading, 
and bears freely. It is a late variety, has a sweet rich 
juice, and makes very good cider. 
Amphlett’s Favorite.— A large striped apple, 
frequently met with in Herefordshire Orchards, on the 
eastern side of the county. It is usually sold as table 
fruit in the market, but sometimes finds its way to the 
cider press as a cask filler. 
Ansell, or Ancell.—A medium sized, red, russety 
apple, much grown at Oldbury, in the vale of Berkeley, 
Gloucestershire. The tree grows erect and bears freely. 
It is a late keeping apple, and is highly esteemed for the 
excellent cider it makes. 
Bastard Rough Coat.— A long keeping russet 
apple, and more fit for dessert than cider. 
Baylis’ Kernel.—A streaked apple, of medium size 
and fair quality. It is ripe about midseason, and is 
thought to add good flavour to the cider from mixed fruit. 
Bell Orchard Seedling, or Ledbury Bell.— 
A middle sized apple, which in colour, shape, and 
general appearance somewhat resembles the Foxwhelp. 
The flesh is more or less red tinted, with good flavour 
and rich juice. It makes a cider of the first quality. 
The tree is of upright growth, very vigorous, and a very 
free bearer. 
Bennett Apple. —An old variety figured by Mr. T. 
A. Knight. An orange striped apple, of full medium 
size, and rather early. It has an abundance of sweet, 
rich juice, of the specific gravity i’o73 (Knight). It 
sells readily in the market as table fruit. 
Best Bache, or Bache’s Kernel.— An old variety, 
grown in Herefordshire orchards on the south eastern 
side of the county. It is of full medium size, with a 
broad base and angular sides. Colour : golden yellow, 
streaked with pale and dark red. It has a rich juice 
of the specific gravity i‘o73 (Knight), and is highly 
esteemed as a cider fruit.
