in perfection in September. The branches of this tree 

 are slender, and produce numerous fruit spurs, which 

 render it particularly well adapted for espalier training ; 

 for which purpose it should be grafted on the Doucin 

 stock. 



65. TRANSPARENT CODLIN. G. 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- 

 transparent. Juice sugary and well flavoured. A cu- 

 linary 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.

 side. Flesh pale yellow, soft, with a very good and 

 pleasant flavoured juice. Excellent to eat ripe from the 

 tree, baking and roasting well till Christmas.
