About this book
The botanical account identifies the cultivated apple as Pyrus Malus, placing the apple within Rosaceæ, Pomeæ and Pyrus. The discussion notes that trees in neglected situations sometimes produce fruit of superior quality, with such sorts welcomed into nurseries and orchards.
The orchard advice describes combining different kinds of fruit so that temporary crops can give returns before making room for the permanent plantation. Peaches are described as coming into bearing rapidly and generally being ready for removal when apple trees need the whole space. The Hannah entry describes large, showy, round and somewhat flattened fruit, regular but sometimes unequal, with a pale yellow surface striped and splashed crimson and carmine.
