ing beyond the base. Skin yellow, with a deep blush or pale

55. JUBILEE PIPPIN. Hort. Trans. Vol. v. p. 400. 

 Fruit above the middle size, two inches and three quarters 



deep, and the same in diameter, rather conical, with irregu- 

 lar ribs extending from the base to the crown, where it is 

 narrow, and unequally angular. Eye small, with a short 

 connivent calyx, deeply sunk in a narrow compressed hollow. 

 Stalk short, in an uneven funnel-shaped cavity, not protrud- 

 ing beyond the base. Skin very pale straw or cream colour, 

 almost transparent, sprinkled with several small gray, and, 

 on the sunny side, brownish specks, flesh white, crisp, 

 with a wide open core. Juice plentiful, sugary, and of a high 

 musky flavour. 



A dessert and culinary fruit from Michaelmas to Christ- 

 mas. Raised by Michael Bland, Esq. in his garden at Nor- 

 wich. The seed was sown on the day of the jubilee, 1809 ; 

 produced fruit in 1818 ; and first exhibited at the Horticul- 

 tural Society, October 1, 1822. The tree is now (1830) in 

 a very healthy and flourishing state. 



56. KESWICK CODLIN. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 180. 

 Fruit pretty large, somewhat irregularly formed, having a 



few obtuse ribs extending from the base to the crown, which 

 is obliquely pentangular. Eye rather large and deep. Stalk 

 short, deeply inserted, not protruding beyond the level of the 

 base. Skin pale yellow, a little tinged with blush on the 

 sunny side. Flesh pale fellow. Juice plentiful, sub-acid. 

 A culinary apple from September to November. 



This very valuable apple is said to have originated in the 

 neighbourhood of Keswick, in Cumberland. Its young fruit 

 may be gathered for tarts in the month of June, when scarcely 

 any other young apple is fit for use. When the young trees 

 are vigorous, the last year's branches are loaded with fruit, 

 while the spurs on the older ones are crowded to excess. 

 This and the Hawthornden might, with great propriety, be 

 recommended for the poor cottager's garden ; and whoever, 

 as a landlord, plants them for such a purpose, may be truly 

 deemed the cottager's friend.
