PLATE III. 
1. MANKS CODLIN. 
A Northern apple, called The Eve by the Caledonian Horticultural Society, of an ovate 
form, middle size, cream colour, with some bright unmixed red next the sun: it has 
a pleasant lively flavour with plenty of juice, and bakes excellently; ripens for use in 
July, and keeps till November. The tree grows upright in a compact form, and is a 
great bearer; the blossoms and young fruit are, however, rather tender and apt to 
blight in unfavourable seasons. 
Blossoms light pink and white. 
. 2. CARLISLE CODLIN. 
This apple is much esteemed in the North as a kitchen fruit; it is also acceptable in 
the dessert: it is of moderate size, oval shape, and straw colour ; makes excellent 
sauce, and of fine flavour : in use from August till Christmas, and is a profuse bearer. 
The tree grows freely in an upright form. 
3. KESWICK CODLIN. 
A favourite sauce apple from the North of England. It is above the middle size, of 
oblong shape, a little flattened and angulated at the eye, cream colour, and has 
frequently a longitudinal line as if drawn with a pencil on the surface : it is a light 
fruit, but bakes well and is highly flavoured. It is a very abundant bearer: in season 
from August till October. The trees grow in a bushy form. 
Blossoms pink suffused with blush. 
4. SPRING GROVE CODLIN. 
Was raised by Mr. Knight and cultivated by Sir Joseph Banks at Spring Grove, who 
has given a description of it in the Horticultural Society’s Transactions, vol. i. p. 197. 
It is of middle size, rather irregular in shape, but generally pyramidal, plaited round 
the eye when ripe; the ground is yellow, a good deal covered with slight russet, a 
little dull red on the exposed side : the flesh is juicy, bakes soft, and of rich flavour : 
is in use from the beginning of August to the end of September. 
The tree grows in a close compact form, and bears plentifully.
