53. ENGLISH CODLIN. Langley, Pom. Lond. t. 74. f. 3. 

 Codling. Ray (1688), No. 19. 



The English Codlin is too well known in every part of 

 England to require any description of it here. It is noticed 

 only with the view of directing the attention of the orchardist 

 to it as an old and valuable apple. The customary method, 

 for at least one hundred and fifty years, has been to raise the 

 trees from suckers, and truncheons, as they are called ; and 

 in every old garden where they are found they are diminutive, 

 ill-formed, unproductive, and full of disease, incrusted, as it 

 were, root and branch, with the greatest of all pests, the aphis 

 lanigera, in consequence of which its fruit exhibits scarcely 

 any thing of its original character. 



Healthy, robust, and substantial trees are only to be ob- 

 tained by grafting on stocks of the real Crab ; they then grow 

 freely, erect, and form very handsome heads, yielding fruit 

 as superior to those of our old orchards, as the old, and at 

 present deteriorated, Codlin is to the Crab itself.
