158.* TARVEY CODLIN. Hort. Trans. Yol. vii. p. 338. 



The skin is a dull olive green, with an imperfect mixture 

 of yellow; on the exposed side it is yellowish red, much 

 spotted with broken rows of large blood-red dots. The flesh 

 is white and juicy, with the taste of an English Codlin. 



A very good apple, in its season, in Ross-shire, in Novem- 

 ber and December. 



This was raised from a seed of the Manx Codlin, by Sir 

 George Steuart Mackenzie, in his garden at Coul, near Ding- 

 wall, an account of which is given by him, in a paper in the 

 Horticultural Transactions, dated March 12, 1827.

Large Fall Pippin, j 



Fruit very large, roundish oblong, about three inches and 

 three quarters deep, and three inches and a half in diameter, 

 irregular in its outline, with broad irregular ribs on its sides, 

 which terminate in an uneven crown, where it is nearly as 

 broad as at the base. Eye large, open, very deeply placed 

 in a broad-angled, oblique, irregular basin. Stalk half an 

 inch long, not deeply inserted, in a rather small evenly-form- 

 ed cavity. Skin smooth, yellowish green on the shaded 

 side, tinged with orange where exposed to the sun. Flesh 

 yellowish white, crisp, and tender, with a rich sugary juice. 



A dessert apple, and for culinary purposes also, from No- 

 vember till February or March. 



This extremely valuable apple is at present but little known 

 in England, although, from specimens exhibited at the Hor- 

 ticultural Society in 1829, by John Darby, Esq., it appears 

 that very ancient trees of it exist in Sussex. In America it 

 is called Fall Pippin, under which name it has been for some 

 time sold by Mr. Cobbett.-f 



t There is gome mistake here. The white Spanish Reinette and our Fall Pip- 

 pin are different apples, however they may resemble each other in shape ; th 

 former apple may keep well till March, but the latter will not keep till thp end of 

 December, when it gets dry and meally ; it is perfectly ripe in November. Jim. Ed
