Husk, finely downy, only about half the length of the nut, from which it soon parts, after being gathered; fringed. Nut, medium sized, nine-tenths of an inch wide, and eight-tenths high, round and depressed; shell, pale brown, not much striated, thin, and easily broken; kernel, plump and full, with an excellent flavour.

Raised by the late Mr. Richard Webb, of Calcot, Reading.

Cluster (A Grappes)

Husk, hairy, about the same length as the nut, in two parts, which spread out from the nut as it approaches ripeness; finely and deeply cut.

Cosford (Improved Cosford; Miss Young's; Thin-shelled)

Husk, hairy, as long as the nut and deeply cut. Nut, large, ovate, inclining to oblong; shell, light brown, finely striated with darker brown, very thin, so much so as to be easily broken between the thumb and finger; kernel, large and well-flavoured.

An excellent nut, and the tree is a great bearer.

Daviana (Duchess of Edinburgh)

Husk, nearly smooth or slightly downy, as long or a little longer than the nut and deeply cut.

Nut, large, roundish ovate; shell, pale brown, striated with dark brown lines, thin, very nearly as much so as the Cosford; kernel, full and of excellent flavour.

This is a fine nut, and worthy of universal cultivation.

It was raised by Mr. Richard Webb, of Calcot, near Reading, and named as a compliment to Sir Humphrey Davy..
