that high culture can give, and the other possesses all its 
native hardiness and vigour; almost every possible combina¬ 
tion and mixture of such characters (though the constitu¬ 
tion of the female'parent will generally be prevalent) will 
be presented in the offspring; and, without the aid of the 
grafter, a Golden Pippin will sometimes, though rarely, be 
seen to adorn the thorny branch of a Crabtree. 
The Foxley Apple will, I believe, be very generally 
thought to deserve culture, as a tree of ornament, as well as 
any of its species, or congeners; for the colours of the fruit 
are rather more intense and brilliant than the plate represents 
them; and I believe that no situation can be found, in 
which our native Crab will grow, and produce fruit, where 
the Foxley Apple will not afford a fine cider. 
The original Tree grows in my Nursery at Wormsley 
Grange; but the fruit derived its name from Foxley, the 
seat of my friend Mr. Uvedale Price; in whose garden, on 
a grafted Tree, it first acquired maturity. The specific 
gravity of its juice is about 1080 ; and it obtained the an¬ 
nual premium of the Herefordshire Agricultural Society 
in 1808 .
