Frequin tribe. It contains all the elements for making a strong, pleasant, and healthy Cider.”

alcoholisable sugar 180; tannin 5,509; mucilage 12; acidity 1,320; salts, &c. 11,171; and 
water 790. 
The table on the next page presents, in a condensed form, the valuable qualities of all these 
Norman apples. It is taken from the “ Catalogue” of the Societe Centrale d’Horticulture de 
la Seine Inferieure. 
Trees of all these valuable varieties of true Norman apples have been sent to Messrs. 
Cranston and Co., King’s Acre, Hereford, who will propogate carefully from them. It is 
believed that they will prove very valuable in the orchards of Herefordshire. 
Your Representatives, in conclusion, desire to express their great sense of the 
kindness and courtesy shown to them during their visit to Rouen.
