PLATE XXXVII. 
1. COCKPIT. 
Much cultivated in the North of England, as a useful pleasant apple, either for the 
table or kitchen. It is of ordinary size, oval shape, both eye and stalk (which is 
slender) prominent; when ripe of a yellow colour. The flesh is tender and of brisk 
flavour. Ripe in November and December. It grows healthily and bears constantly. 
Its season, October till Christmas. 
Blossoms w'hite, with blush. 
2. NONSUCH. 
An old, well-known, and highly esteemed sauce apple, inferior to none in its season 
either in beauty or excellence, having a brisk high flavour, plenty of juice, and re¬ 
ducing itself to a fine pulp in dressing. It is a most abundant bearer: its only defect 
is a tendency to canker. Ripe in September, but will keep in use till November. 
3. THE COLE, or SCARLET PERFUME APPLE. 
It is a new sort, moderately large, flattened both at the eye and stalk, nearly globular, 
with slightly projecting ribs: if divided transversely, one line across is longer than 
the other, giving the fruit the appearanee of being flat-sided. The colour of three- 
fourths of the apple is a rieh deep red, very little striped. The flesh is juicy and rich, 
with a little spicy flavour: very desirable for the table; but, from its size, is fitter 
for eulinary purposes. It is ripe in September and October. 
4. WHITE CALVILLE. 
(Calville Blanche of Duhamel.) It is of moderate size, oblong, flattened at the 
top; cream-coloured: is a very excellent sauce apple, baking to a full red sauce, of 
rich flavour ; and in perfection from September till December. A robust tree, and a 
good bearer. The blossoms of this sort are peculiarly large and beautiful.
