Apples. 194 BIUTISH POMOLOGY, ETC. long, inserted in a shallow cavity. Flesh, yellowish, firm, crisp, and juicy, with a rich, sugary, and very high flavor. One of the most excellent dessert apples; it is in use from October to February. The tree is a free grower, hardy,and an excellent bearer; it attains about the middle size, and is well adapted for growing as an espalier, when grafted on the paradise stock. This variety originated at the village of Syke House, in Yorkshire, whence its name. Diel's nomenclature of the Syke House Russet, affords a good example of the trans- formations the names of fruits are subject to, when translated from one language to another ; he writes it Englische Spitalsreinette, which he translates Sik-House Apple, because as he supposed it received this appellation, either from the briskness of its flavor being agreeable to invalids, or from its having originated in the garden of an hospital, He says he finds it only in Kirke's Fruit Tree Catalogue, where it is erroneously printed Syke-House ! 355.
