264 THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 



" But there was another meaning attached to the word. In Henry 

 IV., Shallow says to Falstaff, ' Nay, you shall see mine orchard ; 

 where in an arbour we will eat a last year's pippin of my own 

 grafting.' And this is interpreted by what Sir Paul Neile says in 

 his Discourse of Cider, written in the time of the Commonwealth, 

 wherein speaking of ' pippin cider; he says, ' For by that name 

 I shall generally call all sorts of cider that is made of apples good 

 to eat raw,' and that is evidently the signification in the above 

 quotation from Shakspeare. 



" Coming to more modern times, we have the word kernel, which 

 is the English equivalent of Pepin, also used to signify a seedling 

 apple tree; as, for example, Ashmead's Kernel, the seedling raised 

 by Dr. Ashmead, of Gloucester ; Cook's Kernel, Knott's Kernel, and 

 many others." 



In this country the term Pippin has been applied to very many 

 different varieties of apples. In Eastern and Southeastern New 

 York when this word is used alone it signifies either the Green 

 Newtown or Yellow Newtown specifically, or the group of green or 

 yellow skinned apples to which these belong, while in Central and 

 Western New York it refers to either the Fall Pippin specifically 

 or to the group to which that variety belongs. In certain portions 

 of the Middle West it is understood as referring to Missouri Pippin.
