APPLES. 59 



A culinary apple from November till March. 



This is another Norfolk apple, well known in the 

 Norwich market. It is one of the most hardy sorts in 

 the county, and a never-failing bearer. 



The aphis lamgera, a white meally insect, so de- 

 structive to most of our old orchard trees, appears to be 

 set at defiance by the Majetin. An old tree now 

 growing in a garden belonging to Mr William Young- 

 man, of Norwich, which had been grafted about three 

 feet high in the stem, has been for many years attacked 

 by this insect below the grafted part, but never above it, 

 the limbs and branches being to this day perfectly free, 

 although all the other trees in the same garden have 

 been infested more or less with it. Mr, Knight's Sibe- 

 rian Bitter-sweet Apple appears to possess the same 

 property of resisting the attacks of these formidable 

 and widely increasing depredators.
