i. YORKSHIRE BEAUTY. 
There is no published account of the origin of this apple. Its name gives the only clue to 
the locality of its production ; but trees from 20 or 50 years old are scattered here and there through 
the orchards of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. 
Description .—Fruit : large, three and a half inches wide, and three inches high ; roundish 
and flattened, with angles on its sides, which are often very marked. Skin : bright yellow, with a 
bright red blush on the side exposed to the sun, with occasional russet marks. Eye : open, with 
short erect segments, inserted in a contracted and angular basin. Stalk : very short, inserted in a 
russety cavity. Flesh : tender and juicy, with an agreeable acidity. 
This is a first-rate culinary apple, and very handsome. It follows the early Codlins and 
Lord Suffield apple, and is in season from the end of August through September to the beginning 
of October. Its great size, its fine quality, and its beauty, make it the favourite fruit in the market 
for its short season. At the Apple Exhibition of the Woolhope Club, held October 10th, 1878, it 
was the most beautiful culinary variety exhibited.
