APPLES. 33 



Flesh yellow, crisp, with a brisk acid juice. An excellent 

 culinary apple from November to April. 



Raised some years ago by a Mr. Dumelow, a nurseryman 

 near Derby. It is well known in the counties of Derby, 

 Lancaster, and Nottingham, by the name of Dumelow's 

 Crab. Its fruit was first exhibited at the Horticultural So- 

 ciety,, in 1820.

Paternoster Apple. Jludibert. 



Fruit above the middle size,* very regularly formed, ra- 

 ther narrower at the crown than at the base. Eye generally 

 close, deeply sunk. Stalk an inch long, slender, deeply in- 

 serted. Skin dull yellow, sprinkled with numerous, small, 

 russetty, green, and white spots ; on the sunny side of a rich, 

 deep, dull red, streaked and mottled. Flesh very firm, crisp. 

 Juice plentiful, with a delicious aromatic, sub-acid flavour. 

 A dessert apple from November till May or June. 



This very valuable apple was brought from Holland into 

 the neighbourhood of Norwich by the late Thomas Harvey, 

 Esq., and planted in his garden at Catton, about fifty years 

 ago, where two or three of the trees are now growing, and in 

 the possession of Thomas Cobbold, Esq. They are very 

 hardy, and bear abundant crops. 



The Copmanthorpe Crab, mentioned in the Hori. Trans. 

 Vol. iii. p. 315., has been said to be the same as this. A 

 closer examination of the two may possibly set this opinion 

 aside ; as it appears improbable that an apple raised within 

 a few miles of York, should have been so extensively, so well, 

 and so long known on the continent.
