garden at Norwich. The seed was sown on the day of 

 the jubilee, 1809; produced fruit in 1818; and first 

 exhibited at the Horticultural Society, October 1 .1822. 

 The tree is now (1830) in a very healthy and flourish- 

 ing state. 



56. KESWICK CODLIN. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 180. 



Fruit pretty large, somewhat irregularly formed, hav- 

 ing a few obtuse ribs extending from the base to the 

 crown, which is obliquely pentangular. Eye rather 

 large and deep. Stalk short, deeply inserted, not pro- 

 truding beyond the level of the base. Skin pale yellow, 

 a little tinged with blush on the sunny side. Flesh 

 pale yellow. Juice plentiful, subacid. A culinary 

 apple from September to November. 



This very valuable apple is said to have originated 

 in the neighbourhood of Keswick, in Cumberland. Its 

 young fruit may be gathered for tarts in the month of 

 June, when scarcely any other young apple is fit for 

 use. When the young trees are vigorous, the last year's 

 branches are loaded with fruit, while the spurs on the 

 older ones are crowded to excess. This and the Haw- 

 thornden might, with great propriety, be recommended 

 for the poor cottager's garden ; and whoever, as a land- 

 lord, plants them for such a purpose, may be truly 

 deemed the cottager's friend.
