French Pearmain (from W Throckmorton)

This apple very much resembles the Winter
or Hertfordshire Pearmain No 62 in size and appearance.
It is a however a harder and firmer fruit.
The color of the skin brigter[brighter] red. The flesh more
sprightly approaching much to the Royal or
Merrits pearmain.  The tree is of a less
strong and vigorous growth. It ripens in
the month of October and is a valuable
winter fruit both for cooking and the table.
And like all the varieties of the Pearmain
must be a good Cider Apple.

1815

On further examination I believe this and the
Winter Pearmain to be the same fruit.
