2. MANX CODLIN. 
[Syn : Irish Pitcher; Irish Codlin ; Eve ; Frith Pippin ?\ 
Description .—Fruit ; medium sized, conical, slightly angular. Skin smooth, greenish yellow 
at first, but changing as it ripens to clear pale yellow, tinged with rich orange on the side next the 
sun, but sometimes when fully exposed, assuming a clear bright red cheek. Eye ; small and closed, 
set in a small, plaited, and pretty deep basin. Stalk ; three quarters of an inch long, more or less 
fleshy, sometimes straight, but generally obliquely inserted, and occasionally united to the fruit by a 
fleshy protuberance on one side of it. Flesh ; yellowish white, firm, brisk, juicy and slightly 
perfumed. 
A very valuable early culinary apple of first-rate quality. It is ripe in the beginning of 
August and continues in use till November. 
The tree is not large but very hardy and healthy, well adapted for growing as a bush on the 
paradise stock, or as an espalier. It is well suited for planting in exposed situations, and succeeds 
well in shallow soils. It is a very early and abundant bearer, often producing fruit when only two 
years old from the graft.
