PLATE IV. 
1. HAWTHORNDEN. 
I received this most useful kitchen apple from Mr. Austin, of Glasgow, about the 
year 1810 ; and have since that time dispersed thousands of the trees, chiefly among 
market gardeners, and I believe the demand continues unabated throughout the 
Nursery trade. It is a little above the middle size, of globular shape, light straw 
colour, with frequently a flush of bright scarlet on the sun side: the fruit is brisk 
and juicy. This is perhaps the most useful kitchen apple we have, and which Scot¬ 
land has the merit of producing. The tree preserves a bushy form, and never fails 
bearing a good crop. 
The blossoms are full red and white. 
2. WORMSLEY PIPPIN, or KNIGHT’S CODLIN. 
A large globular apple, from Wormsley Grange; the eye much sunk; the colour 
straw, thickly set with dark specks : the flesh is juicy, and perhaps unrivaled in the 
richness and excellency of the sauce it produces ; hut there is a tenderness in the 
fruit which we find causes it sometimes to blight and be checked in its growth. The 
tree is of robust growth, and naturally bears well. 
Blossoms light pink and white. 
3. EDGAR’S APPLE. 
So called from the friend who presented it to us. It is of the medium size, globular 
shape, yellow laced with some bright red striping. It is a beautiful fruit, and ex¬ 
cellent either for the dessert or for kitchen use : in perfection throughout November 
and December. It grows well, and is a good bearer. 
4. EARLY MARROW. 
A large cream-coloured Scotch apple, of globular form, but contracted towards the 
eye, and with rather strong ribs; the stalks slender, and deeply inserted. The fruit 
is tender, and bakes well. It bears well, and is in use in September and October.
