Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... inserted. Flesh, yellow, crisp, very juicy, brisk, sweet, and perfumed. Cells, round; axile. A very good and useful apple, either for culinary or dessert use; in season from October to February. DEVONSHIRE QUARRENDEN (Quarrington; Red Quarringden; Sack Apple).--Fruit, rather below medium size; oblate, and sometimes a little angular in its outline.

Flesh, white, frequently stained with red, crisp, brisk, and very juicy, with a rich vinous and refreshing flavour. Cells, ovate; axile, slit. A very valuable and first-rate dessert apple.
