LIST OF OTHER CIDER APPLES. 
Foxley. —A seedling of Mr. Thos. Andrew Knight 
from the Siberian Crab , impregnated with the pollen 
of the Golden Pippin. It is a very small but beautiful 
apple, of a golden yellow colour, with a bright orange 
cheek. The specific gravity of the juice, Mr. Knight 
found to be i - o8o. He thought it a very hardy and 
most valuable cider fruit, but it has failed to retain this 
character, and is but very little grown. 
Golden Bittersweet. —A Devonshire apple, large 
and conical with ribbed sides. It is a yellow apple, 
with a red cheek, and sprinkled over with small russet 
dots and traces of russet. The tree bears freely and the 
fruit keeps well. It has a good repute as a cider apple. 
Golden Moyle.— An apple grown on almost every 
farm round Ledbury. The tree grows large and bears 
well. The fruit makes good cider, and is also in high 
repute for the manufacture of jelly and jam. For this 
latter purpose the fruit taken from the apple heaps, sold 
this year (1884) at four pounds the ton. “A sensible 
apple ” the grower observed. 
Goose Apple.—A grass green apple, above middle 
size. It is very sour, cooks transparently, and makes 
excellent apple sauce—hence its name.—The tree crops 
“ wonderfully.” It is chiefly used as a culinary fruit, 
but the remainder is welcomed at the cider press. 
Granville. —A small, red, Somersetshire apple of 
good repute. It is supposed to give a high colour to 
the cider. 
Grittleton Red.—A very good cider apple for a 
mixture of fruit, but has not sufficient character to be 
used alone. The tree is a great bearer. 
Grittleton Yellow. —Is a Gloucestershire apple 
of good repute in some districts. 
Green Styre. —A middle sized apple, late in season, 
and a good keeper. When it becomes yellow, it is a 
good culinary apple, and is often sold as such. The 
tree is very large and bears “ tremendously.” As a 
cider fruit, it is also considered very good. 
Guinea Apple.—A small apple which looks like a 
crab, but is very sweet and luscious. It is chiefly found 
about Ullingswick, and the eastern side of the county. 
The fruit makes a rich red coloured cider of good 
character, and deserves to be grown more than it is. 
Hall Door.— A large red-streaked apple, very 
conical in shape with a projecting snout. The trees 
crop well, and the fruit sells readily in the market, 
which is its proper destination, for its qualities as a cider 
apple are but very moderate. 
Hanburies Kernel. —A red streaked apple, above 
middle size, good as cider or pot fruit. It was raised at 
Hanburies, in the parish of Bishop’s Froome, and is 
spreading from thence in all directions. 
Hangdown, or Horner. —A small yellow apple in 
high favour both in Devonshire and Somersetshire. 
The tree is small and spreading. It blossoms very late, 
not until June, and bears profusely. It is a late variety 
and makes a good rich cider. 
Hard-bearer.— A second early apple “something 
like Skyrmes Kernel , and quite as good.” It is grown 
in the valley of the Froome river. The fruit has a 
bitter-sweet, astringent flavour, and makes excellent 
cider. 
Hellen’s Kernel. —A seedling raised by C. W. Rad- 
cliffe Cooke, Esq., at Hellens, Much Marcle (c. 1850). 
The density of the fresh juice is 1057, it contains i2j^ 
per cent, of sugar, but is very deficient in tannin, mucil¬ 
age and salts. A good apple to mix with rougher varieties, 
but without sufficient character to make cider alone. 
It is a pretty fruit, and should be sold in the market 
for immediate use. 
Heming.— An old Gloucestershire apple mentioned 
by Evelyn, and formerly much esteemed. It is scarcely 
to be found now. 
Hogshead.- —A very old variety mentioned by Forsyth. 
It is a small, astringent apple, but very juicy. It is 
considered very useful to mix with other and sweeter 
varieties. 
Hollow-Eyed Pippin.— An apple above middle 
size, very handsome, with angular sides. It is orange 
with red streaks, and is most suitable for sale as table 
fruit. It makes but thin, poor cider. 
Honey-combe. —A Somersetshire variety. The tree 
is very vigorous in growth, and when full grown bears 
very abundantly. It makes a large, handsome tree ; 
and its fruit is said to make excellent cider. 
Izard’s Kernel.— A variety somewhat similar to 
Broadtail , but becoming more narrow towards the eye. 
It has also a much higher colour. It is grown about 
Ledbury, Pixley and Aylton. It makes good cider 
and is saleable as pot fruit when better varieties are 
scarce. 
Jersey Chisel, Chisel Jersey, or Bitter Jersey. 
A striped bitter-sweet apple in the highest esteem in 
Somersetshire. It is a constant bearer and a free 
grower. It makes excellent rich cider, of high colour, 
and if mixed with some rich, sweet, kind, ripening at the 
sRme time, it becomes of the highest quality.
