46 THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 



There is a variety grown under the name of American Pippin in Northern 

 New York and Canada which is valued on account of its hardiness and late 

 keeping qualities. Macoun 1 describes the fruit of this variety as large, round- 

 ish; greenish-yellow with pink or orange blush; dots not prominent; basin 

 rather deep ; calyx large, open ; cavity deep ; flesh yellow, subacid, good. 



I have not determined whether this is identical with the American Pippin 

 of Coxe but it does not appear to be that variety.
