The seed, it is said, was planted by a Lord Craven, who brought it from a fruit he had eaten on his travels from France to Holland. All the cottagers round Wyken have from two to twelve trees each of this apple in their gardens, and it is a great favourite throughout the whole county of Warwick. 45. YELLOW INGESTRIE. Hort. Trans.
