MY GARDEN. 



The Keswick Codlin (fig. 256) gives, when boiled or baked, a delicious 

 pulp, which has a flavour peculiar to itself and most agreeable. It is 

 one of our early cooking apples, and is immediately succeeded by 

 Lord Suffield (fig. 257), which attains a large size and is valuable

for baking; it is also an abundant bearer, and no garden can 

 possibly dispense with it ; it lasts till the end of November. Follow- 

 ing this, the Alexander or Emperor Alexander (fig. 258) is a hand- 

 some apple, which does not, however, bear well in my garden.

The Cellini Pippin (fig. 259) is acid, and makes excellent apple sauce, 

 A peculiarity of this valuable fruit is that, in addition to the 

 fruitfulness of the trees, the apples are really good when cpoked, 

 although only three-parts grown, and thus an overladen tree may be 

 thinned without any loss of fruit. When the 

 t-ee is laden with its brightly streaked fruit, it 

 perfectly beautiful. The Hawthornden (fig, 

 60) is also a great bearer and a good cook- 

 ig apple, but the fruit does not keep long. 

 This is followed by the New Hawthornden 

 (fig. 261), also a good apple. Lord Derby (fig. 

 262) is an apple which attains great perfection in my garden.'
