  The following is an enumeration of apples which are known to exist in Great Britain, but of the great majority of which I have no personal knowledge. They are either recorded in other works on pomology, or have been communicated to me by correspondents. The most of these have only a local reputation, and do not possess sufficient merit to make them attractive out of their own districts. A great number are continental varieties, which have chiefly been introduced through the instrumentality of the London Horticultural Society, in whose garden they are only to be found; and many of these are worthy of being more generally known. There are also several varieties which have come under my notice, since the preceding part of this work was published; but of the greater part enumerated, I have had no opportunity of seeing the fruit; the descriptions, therefore, are either from the works in which they are recorded, or the correspondents with whom I have communicated; my object in supplying these additional varieties, being to furnish a complete record of all that are known to exist in Great Britain so far as that can be ascertained. 402.
