NO. 73- GREEN NEWTON PIPPIN. 



This is a variety of the preceding kind' although 

 I could never perceive a difference in the trees, there 

 is certainly a perceptible one in the fruit. The Green 

 Pippin is rather more oblong in form, the skin is green, 

 and smoother, the flesh whiter, crisper, and more 

 juicy I have eaten them in high perfection, raised 

 in some of the Patowmack counties of Virginia, and 

 from trees growing in New- York, New- Jersey and 

 Pennsylvania when produced from trees advantage- 

 ously situated, and well cultivated, they are every 

 where the finest apple in our orchards, very far supe- 

 rior to all other kinds for exportation : in productive- 

 ness, they are surpassed by no apple of any season 

 they are the fairest and freest from rot of any highly 

 flavoured apple we have. 



NO. 74. MICHAEL HENRY PIPPIN. 



This is a large fair apple, of a handsome oblong 

 shape, flat at the stalk end, diminishing towards the 

 crown: the colour when ripe is a lively yellow; the 

 flesh is very tender, and when in perfection, it is juicy, 

 highly flavoured, rich, and melting ; of a yellow colour : 

 the time of ripening is iu November it keeps well
