320 Account of the Apples exhibited in 1818. 



Oslin. The Scoth gardeners call this also the Burr-Knot, 

 and the Original, or Mother Apple. It has a remarkably aro- 

 matic flavour. 



Manks Codlin. This Apple is conical, rather irregular in 

 shape, with its eye depressed, and its stalk deeply inserted ; 

 it is of a fine lemon colour, with bright red to the sun, and 

 an indistinct, white curdling all over, which goes off if the 

 Apple is long kept. The flesh is white, with an agreeable brisk 

 juice, which renders it also a good kitchen Apple. I have not 

 met with any Apple respecting which more confusion prevails 

 than this. In Mr. Ronalds's collection, exhibited Sept. 15th, 

 it appeared under three different names, viz. Manks Codlin, 

 Irish Codlin, and Carlisle Codlin. In Sir George Macken- 

 zie's collection, exhibited Nov. 17th, it is called the Eve 

 Apple, no doubt on the authority of the Memoirs of the Cale- 

 donian Horticidtural Society. .Vol. ii. page 306 ; an Irish origin 

 is there assigned to it, but it does not appear to be known in 

 Scotland under its true name. Mr. Brown of Glasgow calls 

 it the Irish Pitcher, or Eve Apple. In the collection of Che- 

 shire Apples received from George Wilbraham, Esq. it is 

 called the Summer Codlin. 



Hawthorndean. I have before observed that the Apple 

 brought from the Canary Islands by Mr. Navarro, and 

 exhibited, December 15th, closely resembled the Haw- 

 thorndean ; I am strongly inclined to consider them to be 

 the same, from the circumstance of both Apples being 

 known by the name of White Apple ; but whether Haw- 

 thorndean or the Canary Islands produced the tree, I am 

 unable to ascertain.
