TOWER OF GLAMMIS. 
|_Syn : Glammis Castle; Gowrie ; Carse of Gowrie l\ 
The origin and history of this famous Scotch Apple seems to have been lost. It abounds in 
the orchards of Clydesdale, and the Carse of Gowrie, and this is all that could be learnt about it. 
Description. —Fruit, large, conical, distinctly four sided, with four prominent angles extending 
from the base to the apex, where they terminate in four corresponding ridges. Skin, light green, 
becoming of deep sulphur yellow, tinged in some spots with green, and thinly strewed with brown 
russety dots. Eye closed, with broad ragged segments, set in a deep and angular basin. Stalk, 
an inch long, inserted in a deep funnel-shaped cavity, and only just protruding beyond the base. 
Flesh, greenish white, very juicy, crisp, brisk, and perfumed. 
A first-rate culinary apple, in season from November to February. The tree grows well, 
and is an excellent bearer. 
4. WINTER HAWTHORNDEN. 
[Syn : New Hawthornden. ] 
Efforts have been made in vain to discover the history of this apple, although it must be a 
recent production. 
Description. —Fruit, large, roundish ovate, and altogether not unlike the old Hawthornden in 
appearance. Skin, greenish, with a brownish red tinge on the side next the sun. Eye, closed. 
Stalk, long and slender. Flesh, white, very tender, juicy, and with a fine subacid flavour. 
A first-rate culinary apple ; in season from December to January. 
The tree forms an excellent pyramid, and is an abundant and early bearer.
