IX. An Account of some of the best Varieties of Apples peculiar 

 to, or cultivated m, the County of Norfolk. In a Letter to 

 the Secretary. By Mr. George Lindley, Correspond- 

 ing Member of the Society.. 



Read March 7, 1820. 



Dear Sir, 



I have sent you a box containing fifteen varieties of Apples, 

 the greater part of which may be strictly called Norfolk 

 Apples, they having either originated in this county, or been 

 more generally cultivated here than elsewhere. As many 

 of them are little known, and are highly deserving notice, 

 I have thought descriptions of them might not be unac- 

 ceptable. 



Believe me, 



Yours very faithfully, 



George Lindley. 



Catton, near Norwich, 

 \3th November, 1819. 



1. Colonel Harbord's Pippin. Above the middle size, 

 slightly inclining to conical, angular on the sides ; eye large, 

 in rather a shallow cavity, surrounded by bold plaits or 

 wrinkles ; skin of a pale yellowish-green, partially russetted 

 on one side. Flesh white, mixed with green, soft, very juicy, 

 with a pleasant brisk astringency. A very excellent kitchen 

 apple. It took its name from the present Lord Suffield, 

 vol. iv. K
