APPLES. 31 



Fruit above the middle size, globular. Eye small, in a 

 rather confined hollow, round which are prominent plaits. 

 Stalk very short, surrounded by a little russet. Skin fine 

 rich yellow, broadly streaked with red. Flesh firm, with a 

 brisk juice and high flavour. 



A most excellent culinary apple from November till Feb- 

 ruary. Its name originated from Caroline, the lady of the 

 late Lord Suffield, of Blickling and Gunton Hall, in Norfolk. 



77.* CONTIN REINETTE. Hort'. Trans. Vol. vii.f>. 339. 



This is a small handsome fruit, of a deep dull yellow, 

 richly painted with red on the exposed side, and a little mark- 

 ed with russet about the stalk. The flesh is firm, rather yel- 

 low, not particularly juicy, yet highly flavoured, with a little 

 agreeable acid. 



In season, in Ross-shire, from the end of November till 

 the end of January. Raised by Sir George Steuart Mac- 

 kenzie, in his garden at Coul, near Dingwall, an account of 

 which is given by him, along with the Kinellan Jlpple and 

 Tarvey Codlin, in a paper, dated March 12, 1827. 



78. CORNISH AROMATIC. Hort. Trans. Vol. ii. p. 74. 

 Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 203. Pom. Mag. t. 58. : 



Fruit large, roundish, somewhat angular towards the eye, 

 which is sunken and small, with a very short calyx. Stalk 

 short, in a deep contracted cavity. Skin on the shaded side, 

 covered with a soft brownish russet, and sprinkled with pale 

 brown dots on the sunny side, of a rich, deep bright 

 red, slightly intermixed with russet, sprinkled with a few 

 lemon-coloured dots. Flesh yellowish, firm, juicy, with an 

 exceedingly rich, high, aromatic flavour. A dessert apple 

 from November till February. 



This most excellent variety appears to have been first 

 brought into notice by Sir Christopher Hawkins, in the com- 

 munication to the Horticultural Society cited above, who 

 says it has been known in Cornwall for years. It is highly 

 deserving of cultivation, and cannot be too generally known.
