74 APPLES. 



This is an old favourite kitchen apple, mentioned by 

 Ray in 1688, and described shortly by Miller ; but it 

 is not the Kentish Pippin of Mr. Forsyth. It makes 

 strong shoots, attains a large size, with an open spreading 

 head, is a very hardy orchard tree, and an excellent 

 bearer.

The skin is a clear pale green, very little dotted, 

 but strongly coloured with yellowish bright red on the 

 exposed side. The eye is rather angular ; the stalk 

 downy ; the flesh white, firm, rather juicy, and pleasant. 



A pleasant table apple, in season in Ross-shire from the 

 beginning of December till January, and will keep till 

 March. 



This is an offspring between the Nonpareil and Manx 

 Codlin, obtained by Sir George Steuart Mackenzie, 

 Bart., of Coul,near Dingwall, in Ross-shire; it produced 

 its first fruit in 1825. In size the apple resembles the 

 Manx Codlin, and in appearance and other qualities the 

 Nonpareil.
