2. SPRING GROVE CODLIN. 
This apple was a seedling of Mr. Andrew Knight, “ produced by one of his judicious 
mixtures,” said Sir Joseph Banks, after whose seat, Spring-grove, near Hounslow, Middlesex, it 
was named in 1810. 
Description .—Fruit; above medium size, three inches wide at the base, and two inches 
and three quarters high ; conical and slightly angular at the sides. Skin ; pale greenish yellow, 
tinged with orange on the side exposed to the sun. Eye : closed with broad segments, and set 
in a narrow plaited basin. Stalk ; short, inserted in rather a deep cavity. Flesh ; greenish 
yellow, tender, juicy, sugary, brisk, and slightly perfumed. 
A first rate culinary apple. It may be used for tarts as soon as the fruit is the size of a 
walnut, and continues in use to the beginning of October. (Figured and coloured in the Trans. 
Hort. Soc. Vol. I, p. 197.)
