Fruit, about the medium size, two inches and a half broad, and two inches high; roundish, sometimes oblate. Skin, tender, smooth and shining, of a beautiful pale waxen-yellow color, tinged with pale red, on the shaded side; but covered with deeper red, on the side next the sun. Eye, small, half open, and set in a shallow and plaited basin. Stalk, half-an-inch long, inserted in a round, and pretty deep cavity. Flesh, pure white, very tender and delicate, sweet and pleasantly flavored. A very beautiful and handsome apple, but not of great merit. It is suitable for dessert use, and is in perfection from November to January. The tree is of a small habit of growth, hardy, and bears well; but in some soils it is liable to canker. This variety is supposed to be of Canadian origin, and was introduced to this country by a Mr. Barclay, of Brompton near London. This is not the Pomme de Neige of Diel. 239. NELSON CODLIN.--Hort.

Mal. pl. xxv. f. 3. [Illustration] Fruit, large and handsome; conical or oblong. Skin, greenish-yellow strewed with russety specks, on the shaded side; but where exposed to the sun of a fine deep yellow, covered with rather large dark spots, which are encircled with a dark crimson ring. Eye, open, with short segments, set in a deep, plaited, and irregular basin. Stalk, about a quarter of an inch long, inserted in a very deep, and angular cavity. Flesh, yellowish-white, delicate, tender, juicy and sugary. A very excellent apple, of first-rate quality as a culinary fruit, and also valuable for the dessert; it is in use from September to January. This variety was discovered many years ago, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, where it is now cultivated to a large extent. It was first brought into notice by John Nelson, a noted Wesleyan preacher in that part of the country, who, during his professional visits distributed grafts of it among his friends. From this circumstance it became generally known by the name of the Nelson Apple. It was called Backhouse’s Lord Nelson by Mr. Ronalds in the Pyrus Malus Brentfordiensis, from having been received from the York nursery; but Mr. Backhouse, to whom it refers, disclaims having any merit either in the origin or introduction of it, and prefers retaining simply the name of “Nelson”, as a tribute to the memory of the excellent man after whom it was named. The tree is a strong, vigorous, and healthy grower, and a most abundant bearer. 240. NEW ROCK PIPPIN.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Trans. vol. v. p. 269. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 460. Lind.
