Parmain d'E'te. Knoop. p. 17. t. 2. 



Royal Pearmain. JMawe, Abercrombie, Forsrjilx^ and of 

 the London JSurserymen. 



Fruit middle sized, oblong, tapering gradually from the 

 base to the crown. Fye small, with a slender and nearly- 

 closed calyx, in a broad shallow depression, sometimes almost 

 level, very slightly plaited. Stalk short, obliquely inserted, 

 somewhat like a lemon, into a fleshy continuation of the fruit. 

 Skin bright gold colour, sprinkled all over with numerous 

 minute brown specks ; on the sunny side marbled and streak- 

 ed with bright orange and scarlet. Flesh pale yellow, crisp, 

 firm. Juice not plentiful, but rich, and of a high aromatic 

 flavour. 



A most excellent and beautiful dessert apple from Octo- 

 ber till Christmas. In some seasons, however, it is in per- 

 fection in September. The branches of this tree are slen- 

 der, and produce numerous fruit spurs, which render it par- 

 ticularly well adapted for espalier training ; for which purpose 

 it should be grafted on the Doucin stock. 



65. Transparent Codlin. 6r. Lind. Cat. 1815. 

 Fruit about the same size as the English Codlin, but wider 



at the base, which is generally about two inches and three 

 quarters in diameter, and narrower at the crown, where it is 

 drawn almost to a blunt point ; its depth is about two inches 

 and a quarter. Eye small, with a short closed calyx, sunk 

 rather deep in an angular, oblique basin. Stalk short and 

 slender, deeply sunk in a wide and deep cavity. Skin smooth, 

 bright lemon, tinged with deep salmon or pale crimson on the 

 sunny side. Flesh very tender ; in some seasons semi-trans- 

 parent. Juice sugary and well flavoured. A culinary fruit 

 from the end of September till November. 



This very handsome and useful apple was brought into 

 notice about twenty-five years ago by the late Timothy 

 Tompson, Esq. of Norwich. It makes a very handsome 

 spreading tree, and is a most excellent bearer.
