could have seen one of these in a dumpling ! This is not 

 the Newtoicn Pippin, which is sent to England in such 

 quantities. That is a winter apple. Very fine at Christ- 

 mas ; but far inferior to this fall-pippin, taking them both 

 in their state of perfection. It is useless to send the 

 trees to England, unless the heat of the sun and the rains 

 and the dews could be sent along with the trees.
