In warm seasons the flavour and texture approach 

 the Newtown Pippin, but usually it is only good enough 

 for culinary purposes. I think this will probably 

 be found to be of continental origin.

MANK'S CODLIN. Ronalds, p. 3. F., Codlin 

 de Mank ; G., Manck's Kuchenapfel. (Belmont, 

 Eve, Irish Codlin, Pitcher.) Culinary, August to 

 November, medium, 2| by 2j, oval-conical, irregular, 

 five sided. Colour, yellow-green with slight red flush. 

 Flesh, firm, white, acid. Eye, very small, closed in a 

 ribbed basin. Stem, rather stout, in a fairly deep, wide 

 cavity. Growth, very compact and dwarfish ; fertility 

 great. Leaf, narrow-oval, broadly serrate. Origin, 

 this was raised by Mr. Kewley, of Ballanard, Isle of 

 Man, and first fruited in 1815. It is still much grown 

 in the North of England and is one of the best cooking 

 apples there. 



MANNINGTON'S PEARMAIN. Her. Pom., p. 14. 

 F., Pomme de Mannington. Dessert, November to 

 March, medium, 2,\ by 2, flattened round, regular. 

 Colour, dull green-red with russet. Flesh, crisp, yellow, 

 fair flavour. Eye, nearly closed in a shallow basin. 

 Stem, fairly long in a rather deep cavity. Growth, 

 moderate, making a compact well-spurred tree. Leaf, 

 rather small, roundish, pea green, slightly upfolded, 

 undulating, very boldly curved serrate. Origin, 

 raised at Uckfield, Sussex, about 1770, and distributed 

 by Mr. Cameron of the same town, in 1849. The 

 flavour of this variety is only fair and as there are so 

 many better at this season I consider it not worth 

 growing. 



MARCH PIPPIN. Dessert, till April, medium to 

 fairly large, 2^ by 2j, round flattened, fairly even. 

 Colour, rich golden-yellow with slight flush and a few 

 broad faint stripes. Flesh, very firm, yellow, of good 

 flavour. Eye, wide open in a very broad ribbed basin.
