[Syn : Morris’s Sack and Sugar .] 
This Apple was raised the beginning of the present century, by Mr. Morris, a market 
gardener at Brentford, in Essex, and sometimes bears his name. 
Description. —Fruit: below medium size, two inches and a quarter wide, and an inch and 
three quarters high ; roundish, inclining to oval, with prominent ridges round the eye. Skin : pale 
yellow, marked with a few broken stripes and streaks of bright crimson on the side next the sun. 
Eye : closed, with pointed segments overlapping each other, and set rather deeply in a round, 
angular and plaited basin. Flesh : white, very soft and tender, very juicy, sugary, and with a

August and continues during September. 
The tree is hardy, a free and vigorous grower, and an immense bearer.
