2. COX’S POMONA. 
This beautiful apple was raised by Mr. Cox, of Colnbrook Lawn, about 1825. 
Description. —Fruit, above medium size, sometimes large ; ovate and somewhat flattened and 
angular. Skin, yellow and very much streaked with bright crimson. Eye, slightly open, set in a 
deep and angular basin. Stalk, an inch long, and deeply inserted. Flesh, white, tender, delicate 
and pleasantly acid. 
A first-rate and very handsome culinary apple. Season, October. 
3. CELLINI. 
This very useful apple originated with Mr. Leonard Phillips, of Vauxhall. 
Description. —Fruit, rather above medium size ; roundish and flattened at both ends. Skin, 
rich deep yellow, with spots and patches of lively red on the shaded side, and bright red streaked 
and mottled with dark crimson next the sun, with here and there a tinge of yellow breaking through. 
Eye, large and open, with short, acute, and reflexed segments, and set in a shallow and slightly 
plaited basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a funnel shaped cavity. Flesh, white, tender, very 
juicy, brisk and pleasantly flavoured, with a somewhat balsamic aroma. 
This is one of the most useful and profitable apples. It eats well from the tree, but its chief 
use is as a culinary apple of the first quality. It is in season during October and November. The 
tree grows freely, comes very early into bearing, and is usually loaded with fruit. It is a fine showy 
and handsome apple, resembling the Nonsuch , from which it was probably raised.
