THOMAS ANDREW KNIGHT.-APPENDIX I. 
Downton Pippin.—a.d., 1804. 
Similar in colour and flavour to a large Golden Pippin ; pulp yellow; specific gravity of the 
juice of a perfect sample of the fruit in the year 1807 was 1080. Trees grow freely and are most 
exuberantly productive. Fruit fit for the press in the middle of November; but may be preserved 
till the spring. Original tree at Wormsley Grange, and sprang from the same parents as the 
Grange Apple. 
[This Apple is figured in the “ Pomona Herefordiensis .” Plate IX, with a more detailed description.] 
Yellow Siberian.—a.d., 1805. 
Fruit very small not exceeding the size of a common Crab; juice very rich, but contains 
much acid and astringents: the specific gravity of the juice of a perfect sample of the fruit 1085. 
Trees grow with great rapidity, are immensely productive, and are calculated for very high and 
exposed situations, where other varieties will not succeed, and for such only. Original Tree at 
Wormsley Grange, and sprung from a seed of the Siberian Crab and the pollen of the Orange 
Pippin. 
Siberian Pippin.—a.d. 1806. 
Nearly similar in size to a very large Golden Pippin ; colour very yellow and streaked with 
red on one side; internally very yellow: specific gravity of the juice, which is very sweet and free 
from acid 1075. Trees grow very freely and bear well; but its blossoms are less hardy and its 
fruit inferior to either of the succeeding varieties. The original tree at Wormsley Grange, and 
sprung from the same parents as the preceding varieties. Fit for the press in the end of October. 
The Siberian Harvey.—a.d. 1807. 
Nearly similar in size to the Golden Pippin; colour yellow freckled with red on one side: 
juice extremely sweet and rich, and its specific gravity, though expressed from another bad sample of 
fruit 1091 ; and of course exceeding that of any other apples of old or modern date that has been 
subjected to experiment. The trees grow very rapidly, and the blossoms appear to be more hardy 
than those of the crab tree. Original tree at Wormsley Grange, and sprung from a seed of the 
Siberian Crab , and the pollen of the Golden Harvey. The fruit will be fit for the press early in 
November. This variety will probably be found to grow and bear well in almost all soils and 
situations; but no grafts of it can be distributed till next year 1810. There is little doubt that the 
specific gravity of the juice of this fruit under favourable circumstances will be found to exceed 
1100. 
[This Apple is figured in the “Pomona Herefordiensis.” Plate XXIII.] 
The Foxley Apple.— a.d., 1808. 
Very small, not exceeding the common size of a crab; colour of the rind and pulp nearly that 
of a Seville Orange: juice very rich and free from acid, and its specific gravity 1080. The trees 
grow very freely, and are calculated rather for high than low situations. Fruit fit for the press early 
in November. Original tree at Wormsley Grange, and sprung from a seed of the Siberian Crab
