Loans English Pearmain

This is an Apple below the midling size, the form
flatter than the Winter or Herefordshire Pearmain.
The skin red with Russet spots, resembling
in appearance the Royal Pearmain.
The flesh firm rich juicy and sprightly, ripens in
September & October, imported from England. Forsyth p. 39

No 15 - These would be very valuable apples for
cooking and cider did they not like most English
fruits, as the Styres, Redstreaks & Hagloes fall too
soon for good Cider.
