503. DEVONSHIRE QUEEN.
A beautiful apple, rather large, straw-colored, enriched over three fourths of its surface, with bright red stripes. It is an excellent apple, juicy, and briskly flavored, fit either for the table or for sauce, but particularly the latter; ripe in October. It is a general favorite in the West of England.—[Ron. Pyr. Mal.] 49. pl, xxv. f. 1.
504. DEVONSHIRE RED STREAK.
An old apple, and highly esteemed in the West of England, it is of middle size, globular, but a little oval, straw-colored, with a good deal of scarlet striping; the flavor is poignant, with plenty of juice and acid. It is excellent either for the dessert, or for cider, and will keep in perfection till January.—[Ron. Pyr. Mal.] 53. pl. xxvii. f. 2.
505. DEVONSHIRE WHITE SOUR.
A small, oblate, greenish-yellow apple, ripe in August.—[H. S. C.] n. 204.
506. DEVONSHIRE WILDING.
Is a favorite sort in North Devon, for the manufacture of rough cider of great strength, so much relished by the laborers of that country. The fruit is of middle size, nearly round, flatted at the ends; color, yellowish-green, dotted with brown; the stalk short and thick, and closely attached to the branch, and hanging long on the tree. The pulp is firm, and well charged with a sharp acid juice. When cider is made of it, alone, the fruit is kept for a month before going to the mill. The tree grows strongly, and rises to rank in the first class in the orchard; and is, like most of the cider apples, very seldom attacked by the American blight.—[Rog. Fr. Cult.] 111.
