Pumpkin Sweet. 

 Vermont Pumpkin Sweet. Lyman's Pumpkin Sweet. Pound Sweet. 



A very large sweet Apple, which we received from Mr. S. Lyman, 

 of Manchester, Conn. It is, perhaps, inferior to the Jersey Sweet or 

 the Summer Sweet Paradise for the table, but is a very valuable apple 

 for baking, and deserves a place on this account in every orchard. Tree 

 upright, spreading. Young wood brown. 



Fruit very hu-ge, roundish, more or less furrowed or ribbed, espe- 

 cially near the stalk. Color pale green, with obscure whitish streaks 

 near the stalk, and numerous white dots near the eye, sometimes becom- 

 ing a little yellow next the sun. Flesh white, very sweet, but not very 

 juicy. Good. September to December. 



There is also in Connecticut and Massachusetts another I^umpkln 

 Sweet, the tree of which is a strong, ujiright grower, and very produc- 

 tive. Young wood reddish brown, slightly downy. 



Fruit large, roundish oblate, rich yellow, frequently with consider- 

 able russet. Flesh yellowish white, breaking, rich, sugary, sweet, ripen- 

 ing in September and October. Very valuable for baking or stock feed- 

 ing. 



There are also several other Apples under the name of Pumpkin 

 Sweet, but we consider the two above described as the best we have 

 known.
