lanigera, in consequence of which its fruit exhibits 

 scarcely any thing of its original character. 



Healthy, robust, and substantial trees are only to be 

 obtained by grafting on stocks of the real sour Hedge- 

 Crab ; they then grow freely, erect, and form very hand- 

 some heads, yielding fruit as superior to those of our old 

 orchards, as the old, and at'present deteriorated, Codlin 

 is to the Crab itself. 



54. GREY LEADINGTON. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 545. 

 Fruit very large, oblong, broader at the base than at 



the crown, with five obtuse angles, extending the length 

 of the fruit, in the manner of the French Codlin. Eye 

 pretty large, an inch deep. Stalk half an inch long, 

 strong, not projecting beyond the base. Skin yellow, 

 with a deep blush or pale red on the sunny side. Flesh 

 tender. Juice sugary, with a little acid and a slight 

 perfume. An excellent culinary apple from Michaelmas 

 to Christmas. 



This is very different from either the Catshead or the 

 French Codlin : the branches are long and strong, and 

 it makes a large wide-spreading tree. 



55. JUBILEE PIPPIN. Hort. Trans. Vol. v. p. 400. 

 Fruit above the middle size, two inches and three 



quarters deep, and the same in diameter, rather conical, 

 with irregular ribs extending from the base to the crown, 

 where it is narrow, and unequally angular. Eye small, 

 with a short connivent calyx, deeply sunk in a narrow 

 compressed hollow. Stalk short, in an uneven funnel*- 

 shaped cavity, not protruding beyond the base. Skin 

 very pale straw or cream colour, almost transparent, 

 sprinkled with several small grey, and, on the sunny side, 

 brownish specks. Flesh white, crisp, with a wide open 

 core. Juice plentiful, sugary, and of a high musky 

 flavour.
