LIST OF OTHER CIDER APPLES. 
Olive. —A variety mentioned by Evelyn, and said to 
grow near Ludlow. It has not kept favour in modern 
times. 
Orange Pippin. — A very beautiful apple, like the 
Blenheim Orange , but smaller, and more regular in 
shape. It makes good cider, but usually finds its way 
to the market, where its beauty commands for it a ready 
sale. The tree grows well and blossoms well, but is a 
shy bearer, and a good crop can only be looked for 
once in every four or five years. 
Otley.- —A Shropshire apple formerly held in great 
esteem. Phillips’ says of it:— 
“ Salopian acres flourish with a Growth 
Peculiar, styl’d the Otley : Be thou first 
This apple to transplant: if to the Name 
Its Merit answers ; nowhere shalt thou find 
A wine more priz’d, or laudable of Taste.” 
The poet’s advice, however, does not seem to have 
been followed. 
Pawsan. — An old variety, mentioned by Philips, and 
figured by Mr. T. A. Knight in the “ Pomona Here- 
fordiensis.” He found the specific gravity of its juice 
to be i‘076. The name appears at our shows, but not 
the true apple. 
Pin Apple.— /\ local apple of good repute. The 
original tree at Much Cowarne has an iron pin driven 
through it, to prevent a split from spreading—-hence its 
name. It is a round, green and yellow apple, late in 
season, and makes very good cider without other 
varieties. 
Poor Man’s Profit. —A small, striped, Somerset¬ 
shire apple, a late variety, which is thought to make 
very good cider. 
Poughill Green. —A large, green, Somersetshire 
apple, which keeps well. It only finds its way to the 
cider mill when the crop is abundant, and the market 
overstocked. 
Pound Apple. — A very large apple, without sufficiently 
good qualities to keep it in the market, and it is used 
therefore in Devonshire and Somersetshire for cider. It 
quickly fills the cask, but requires fruit of better 
character to give strength and flavour to the liquor. 
Preece’s Kernel. —A large apple, which ripens 
early and decays quickly. It has little merit, either on 
the table, or in the cider press. 
Price’s Bittersweet.— A late apple, striped red and 
green, rather below middle size. It is thought one of 
the best apples in the Froome valley, and makes 
excellent cider alone, or in mixture. 
Puppy Snout. —A middle sized apple of narrow 
pointed shape. It is late in season, and of rather 
doubtful character as a cider fruit. 
Ramping Taurus. — A recent variety, grown at Fair 
Oaks Farm, Castle Morton, Worcestershire. The fruit 
is large, conical and angular, greenish white, and bitter¬ 
sweet. It makes “ grand cider ” and very strong. This 
apple has the peculiarity of baking well, but it will 
not boil. 
Red Cluster. — A small, red, Somersetshire apple, 
a late variety, which gives excellent assistance in 
making cider from mixed fruit. The tree bears freely. 
Red Must, or Musk. —This is the largest cider 
apple grown in Herefordshire, and is therefore seldom 
used as such. It has a light thin juice, of the specific 
gravity U064 (Knight), and is not so much esteemed 
now as it was formerly. 
Red Soldier. —“ A very lucky bearer ” and from 
this, and its bright colour, it was much sought after a 
few years since. However, it only makes a thin, poor 
cider, and has thus lost its repute. It should be sold 
in the market, where good colour sells anything. 
Red Styre. — A small apple, almost entirely covered 
with dark crimson. It is an excellent cider fruit, and 
highly valued in the Froome valley where it is chiefly 
to be found. 
Red Turk, or Bloody Turk. — An early, soft, deep 
red apple, the colour extending more or less through the 
flesh. It is a bad keeper and a poor cider fruit. It, 
too, should be sold to the costermonger. 
Red Wilding. — A late apple of middle size. Its 
juice does not fine well and it is only useful to mix with 
other varieties. 
Reynold’s Crab, or Raynal’s Crab.-— A yellow 
fleshed fruit, with something of the flavour of the 
Siberian Crab. The tree grows to a large size, and 
bears “wonderfully.” The fruit makes “the very best 
cider.” 
Rusty Coat. — A Gloucestershire apple of good 
repute. It is a small yellow apple, with an orange 
cheek, specked and marked with rough russet. It is a 
late fruit, and thought to make excellent cider. 
Sea Spawn.— A local variety from Dilwyn, very 
small in size. The tree bears very freely, and the fruit 
adds virtue to mixed fruits. 
Sheeps Snout, or Sheeps Nose. — A light, green, 
bitter sweet apple, largely grown in Somersetshire, 
Gloucestershire, and Worcestershire. It is of medium
