The above references are not all to the same variety and are included only 

 because in many cases it is uncertain which variety the writer had in mind. 



At least two varieties have been known in this country under the name 

 Orange Pippin but so far as we can learn neither of them is now considered 

 of superior value by fruit growers and both are going out of cultivation. 

 One, which has been called also the Isle of Wight Pippin, Isle of Wight 

 Orange, Marygold and Marigold, was disseminated from the Isle of Wight 

 where, as some have supposed, it ^Yas brought from Normandy (i, 3, 4, 5, 6, 



10, 12). Fruit medium size, roundish, skin yellowish, golden gray russeted 

 and highly colored with orange and red on the sunny side ; flesh firm, crisp, 

 pleasant acid, suitable for dessert; season October to January (6, 9). This 

 was entered on the list of the American Pomological Society in 1869, 

 dropped in 1871 and re-entered in 1873. 



An Orange Pippin grown in some parts of New Jersey is described (8, 9, 



11, 14, 15) as a profitable summer market apple of unknown origin. Tree 

 vigorous, at first upright but eventually spreading; a reliable biennial cropper. 

 Fruit medium or above, pale yellow with some orange red in the sun ; flesh 

 white, half fine, tender, pleasant subacid; season September and October.
