Pyr. Mal._ 49. pl, xxv. f. 1. 504. DEVONSHIRE RED STREAK.

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. 507.
