Apples
Fruit, large and conical. Skin, dull olive-green, with an imperfect
mixture of yellow on the shaded side, and yellowish-red, much spotted
with broken rows of large blood-red dots, next the sun. Flesh, white
and juicy, somewhat resembling the English Codlin.
A good culinary apple for a northern climate, in use during November
and December.
This variety was raised from seed of the Manks Codlin, impregnated with
the Nonpariel, by Sir. G. S. Mackenzie, Bart., of Coul, in Rosshire.
