CORNISH GIT.U FLOWER. 
garden near Truro, in Cornwall. Sir Christopher, for his 
attentions in making kno^\’n so valuable an Apple, was awarded 
the Society's silver medal. We learn from the Pomological 
Magazine that it is in cultivation abroad, it having been recei- 
ved by the Horticultural Society from the continent, under the 
title of Calrille d’ Angleterre. It is, probably, the finest fla- 
voured Apple known; its subacid sweet juice, and pleasant 
aroma, combined with moderately firm yellowish flesh, make 
it gratifying to all palates. 
Our figure of it is from a middling-sized specimen. It some- 
times is met with larger, and rather more fuiTowed and n irrower 
about the eye. At gathering time, its colour is an uninviting 
dull green, and bi’O'miish red on the exposed side, -with occa- 
sional patches of nisset; but when at maturity, that is from 
November to April, it assumes a rich yellow, mixed Arith a 
bright red. The branches of the tree are slender and straggling, 
but perfectly available, under proper training, for making a 
handsome dwarf standard or espalier. It has the character of 
a bad bearer, which, even if it he so, should not deter any 
person from planting a tree or rivo, to obtain even a few of so 
valuable an Apple; still, it does not seem that the character is 
just, as will be hereafter seen. 
As this tree differe in its manner of growth and bearing from 
most others, it is requisite that the amateur Fruitist be in- 
stmcted in its proper management, otherwise he Avill, year after 
year, not only prune his tree but also his crop. Error in this 
particular has been one reason why the Cornish Gilliflower has 
been called a “shy” bearer. The specimen from which our 
drawing was made, we were obligingly supplied with from the 
fmit room of the Hon. R. H. Clive, M. P., at Hewell, with whom 
this apple is high in favour. The trees also at Hewell, are 
luxuriant and free from canker; and Mr. Markham, the inde- 
fatigable gardener there, has favoured us with an account of his 
mode of management of the Cornish Gilliflower, as a dwarf 
standard, the principles being equidly applicable to tall stan- 
dards in the orchard. 
Mr. Markham obseiwes, “I give directions for the dwarf tree 
because there is no garden so small but that one or more may
