          a rather unusual case in nomenclature
adjustment in attempting to bring
foreigh (in this case English) variety
names into conformity with the
American code of nomenclature
without adequate knowledge of
the fruits themselves and what the
names stand for. In B.P.I. Bul 56
Lyon reduced the name Herefordshire
Pearmain to Herefordshire. Herefordshire
Beefing as a name was retained.
Beach in Apples of New York appears
to have reduced the name Herefordshire
Beefing to Herefordshire. This 
puts into American literature the
same name Herefordshire for 
2 distinct varieties of apple of
English origin.  This seems
to be a case where the retention
of the 2 full names, Herefordshire
Pearmain and Herefordshire
Beefing would have been
much better than to try to force
them into conformity with the
American code - apparently with
only the idea of reducing 2 -word
names to one word as a justification
for any change whatever.
