EXPLANATORY LIST OF SORTS. 49 



this apple was produced at Woodstock, the 

 seat of the Duke of Maryborough ; it is a most 

 excellent apple for all purposes; it ripens in 

 October, and will keep good some time. 



Par. 68. Mank's Codlin; this is one of the 

 greatest bearers we have; the fruit is hand- 

 somely formed, of a pale yellow colour, and 

 where the sun can get at them they turn of a 

 beautiful pale pink ; it is full of fine rich juice, 

 and good for all purposes ; the bloom is not 

 excelled by any ; it is nearly as handsome as a 

 rose ; it is further to be recommended to plant 

 as dwarfs in the shrubbery, for its great bloom- 

 ing and bearing prevents its growing so large 

 as many sorts ; it is in perfection about Sep- 

 tember, but will not keep long. 



Par. 69. Pile's Russet; this is an old, well 

 known excellent keeping apple, and good for 

 all purposes. 



Par 70. Braddick's Nonpareil ; this apple, 

 which is rather new and not much known, de- 

 serves to be recommended ; it partakes much 

 of the old nonpareil in flavour, but is an earlier 

 apple : it is nearly of a russet colour, fine melt- 

 ing flesh, and full of rich juice ; some of them 

 grow a tolerable size, which will do for culi-
