66 Account of Apples cultivated in Norfolk. 



previously to his becoming a Peer. The trees, which are of 

 the largest size, are old, all growing to the north of Norwich, 

 and chiefly on the Suffield estates; I never observed them 

 elsewhere. 



2. Caroline. Above the middle size, globular; eye small, 

 in a rather confined hollow, round which are prominent 

 plaits; stalk very short, surrounded by a little russet; the 

 skin is of a fine rich yellow, broadly streaked with red ; 

 hence it has been called the Red Streak, but it bears no re- 

 semblance to the old Apple well known by that name. Its 

 high flavour and brisk juice render it one of the best kitchen 

 apples. The tree from which this fruit was taken is old, and 

 stands in Lord Suffield's garden, at Bleckling. It grows 

 late in the autumn, and is now (November 1819) quite 

 green, when other Apple trees have nearly lost all their fo- 

 liage. Lady Suffi eld's name is Caroline, whence this 

 name has originated. 



3. Winter Colman. This is generally called the Norfolk 

 Colman or Coalman, 1 imagine from its dark colour. Its 

 good keeping quality has generally recommended it, and it 

 is now universally cultivated. It is a very vigorous grower, 

 its shoots are erect, and it makes a large tree ; bears bleak 

 situations, and is not subject to canker. 



4. Winter Broaden, or Broadend. This is a Norfolk Apple 

 wholly different from that known as the Kentish Broadend. 

 It is of the middle size; globular, flattened at both ends; 

 the eye is placed in a small cavity; the stalk very short, and 

 deeply inserted ; the skin is of a pale green hue, with a 

 tinge of faint brownish red on the side exposed to the sun.
