Apples
There is another variety in Mr. Rivers’s Catalogue, which is also
called Clove Pippin, and which is said to be a large dessert apple, of
first-rate quality, and in use from November till April.
477. COCKPIT.
Of ordinary size, oval shape, both eye and stalk (which is slender),
prominent; when ripe of a yellow color, the flesh is tender, and of
a brisk flavor. Ripe in November and December. It grows healthily,
and bears constantly. This variety is much cultivated in the North
of England, as a useful pleasant apple, either for the table or
kitchen.--_Ron. Pyr. Mal._ 73. pl. xxxvii. f. 1.
478. COLLIN’S KEEPER.
A large kitchen apple, of roundish shape, green and yellow color, and
keeps till January.--_H. S. C._ n. 173.
479. CONQUEST DE WIGERS.
A medium sized dessert apple, of second-rate quality; it is of a
roundish shape, pale yellow color, and in use from January till
March.--_H. S. C._ n. 175.
480. CORSTORPHINE.
A medium sized second-rate Scotch culinary apple, of conical shape, and
pale yellow color; in use during September and October.--_Laws. Cat._
481. CORNISH NONPAREIL.
This is rather under the middle size, it is a little flatted, and of a
russet color. This is a very good apple, and keeps till the middle of
March.--_Fors. Treat._ 97.
482. CORNISH PEARMAIN.
This is of a middling size, and long shape, of a dull green color on
one side, and russet on the other. This is a very good apple, and keeps
till the latter end of April.--_Fors. Treat._ 97.
483. CORSE’S FAVORITE.
A Canadian apple, raised near Montreal. It is described as an apple
of extraordinary flavor; it commences ripening in August, and has
this singular peculiarity in maturing: it is six weeks from the time
the first are fit for the table, before the last are so; it should be
perfectly matured on the tree, and eaten immediately.--_Ken. Amer. Or._
26.
Such is the character of this fruit in America, but I have had no
experience of it here.--_H._
484. COS OR CAAS.
A native of Kingston, N. Y., where it is productive and very highly
esteemed. Fruit, large, one-sided or angular, roundish, broad and
flattened at the stalk, narrowing a good deal to the eye. Skin, smooth,
pale greenish-yellow in the shade, but red in the sun, with splashes
and specks of bright red, and a few yellow dots. Stalk, very short,
and rather strong, downy, deeply inserted in a wide, one-sided cavity.
Calyx, small, in a narrow, shallow basin. Flesh, white, tender, with a
mild, agreeable flavor. December to March.--_Down. Fr. Amer._ 103.
485. COURT-PENDU NOIR.
A medium sized kitchen apple, of round shape, and dark red color; in
use from December till March.--_H. S. C._ n. 186.
486. COWARNE QUEENING.
A small, ovate apple, green and red, suitable either for cider or the
dessert use; it is in season from October till March, and is a good
bearer.--_H. S. C._ n. 606.
487. COW’S SNOUT.
