Fruit, medium sized; of an oval shape, tapering a little towards the crown, which is narrow. Eye, flat, with broad segments of the calyx. Stalk, three quarters of an inch long, thick, and fleshy, and curved inwards towards the fruit. Skin, yellow, nearly covered with a soft red, and much deeper color on the sunny side. Specific gravity of the juice, 1073.--_Lindley._ This is one of the oldest cider apples, and is highly commended by the writers of the seventeenth century; but according to Mr. Knight it has long ceased to deserve the attention of the planter. It is said that the name of this apple, is derived from an imagined resemblance in the form of the fruit, and fruit-stalk, in some instances, to the head and beak of a woodcock; but Mr. Knight thinks it probable that it was raised by a person of that name. 395.
