Holland Pippin. 

 Reinette d'Hollande. Summer Pippin. Pie Apple. 



This and the Fall Pippin are frequently confounded together. They 

 are indeed of the same origin. One of the strongest points of diflier-

 ber is one of the very best kitchen apples.

 little narrowed next the eye. Stalk half an inch long, tliick, deeply 

 sunk. Calyx small, closed, moderately sunk in a slight plaited basin.

 ripe, washed on ^ne side with a little dull red or pale brown, with a few 

 scattered, large, greenish dots. Good.
