Allan apples. These were formerly bought by the inhabitants and all the country people from the neighbourhood (for whom Penzance is the market-town), and one was given to each member of the family to be eaten for luck.

A few of the apples are still sold; but the custom, which, I have lately been told, was also observed at St. Ives, is practically dying out. On
