16. SUGAR LOAF PIPPIN. Thomp. Lind. P. Mag. 

 Hutching's Seedling. 



A foreign sort, which is ranked among first rate sorts by 

 Thompson, but from specimens of two seasons produced here, 

 it does not seem likely to take this rank with us. Fruit of me- 

 dium size, oblong or conical, smooth, clear pale yellow, be- 

 coming nearly white on one side when fully ripe. Stalk nearly 

 an inch long, deeply set in a regular cavity. Calyx sunk in a 

 pretty deep basin. Flesh white, firm, very slightly acid, and 

 moderately juicy. According to Lindley it has in England " a 

 most agreeable lively flavour." Ripens here the latter part oi 

 July, and is very showy on the tree.
