AUTUMN APPLES. 83 



34. DYER. Ken. 



Woodstock. 



The original tree of this variety is growing in Johnson, 

 Rhode Island. It was first presented to the Massachusetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society, by the Messrs. Dyer, of Cranston, in that 

 state, whence its name. It is one of the most popular autumn 

 apples of that neighbourhood. Mr. Kenrick has confounded this 

 with the Pomme Royale, of Connecticut, which is a distinct wnter 

 variety. (See Pound Royal.) 



" Fruit large globular. Skin smooth, white, or very pale yel- 

 low, with a faint blush next the sun. Flesh white, with a rich 

 saccharine sub-acid flavour. An excellent variety ripening in 

 October." 



35. DUTCH CODLIN. Thomp. Lind. Ron. 

 Chalmer's Large. 



A very large kitchen apple, valued only for cooking, from 

 August to September. Fruit of the largest size, irregularly 

 roundish, or rather oblong, strongly marked by ribs extending 

 from the base to the eye. Calyx set in a narrow, deep-furrowed 

 basin. Stalk short and thick. Skin pale yellow, becoming 

 orange yellow on the sunny side. Flesh white, sub-acid, and 

 moderately juicy. Inferiour to the Holland Pippin or the Drap

 in a large basin, rather furrowed or irregular. Stalk nearly an 

 inch long, not very deeply inserted. Flesh greenish yellow, 

 abounding with a lively sub-acid juice. October to January. 



37. FRANKLIN'S GOLDEN PIPPIN. Thomp. Lind. Man. 

 Sudlow's Fall Pippin. 



This should be an American tariety, named after Dr. Franklin, 

 as it appears, by the Horticultural Transactions, to have been 

 taken from the United States to England, in 1806 ; but it is, we
