The Alban.—a.d., 1798.

and austere, unless in mixture in small quantity, with that of sweet and bitter apples; specific 
gravity of the juice expressed from a perfect sample of the fruit, 1073. Trees grow freely and bear 
well in some soils, but are subject to canker in others, and are only calculated for very warm 
situations. Original tree on the Rev. Thomas Albans’ Estate, in the parish of Leominster. 
[a.d., 1799.—Premium not awarded.] 
Stead’s Kernel.—a.d., 1800. 
Middle-sized; colour yellow with russet spots round the base of the stalk; pulp faintly 
yellow; juice rich and well flavoured; specific gravity of the juice at Brierly and Wormsley 
Grange, 1074. Trees bear well but do not grow very rapidly, and require good soils and warm 
situations. Original tree on the estate of the Rev. Thomas Alban, at Brierly. Apparently a good 
cider apple and ready for the press early in November.

Somewhat below the middle size ; colour pure yellow, and pulp faintly tinged; specific 
gravity of the juice of a moderately well-ripened sample of the fruit, 1072. Trees grow freely but

the estate of Dr. Symonds ; and sprang from a seed of the Golden Harvey. 
Grange Apple.—a.d., 1802. 
Somewhat below the middle size; colour similar to that of a very ripe Golden Pippin ; pulp
