Fruit the medium size, depressed ; stem projecting. Color yellow, finely splashed with 

 reddish orange upon the base. Calyx of a medium size. Core small. Flesh firm, yel-

This apple was raised from the seed by Mr. Slingerland of Albany county. In procuring 

 this variety, the seed of twt) barrels of apples of the Newtown pippin were sown, and 

 only two varieties were obtained, which were worth cultivating. This is closely allied to 

 the Newtown pippin; but instead of being a winter apple, or a long keeper like its parent, 

 it is only a late fall fruit, or an early winter. When carefully gathered, it keeps very well. 

 lis eating qualities, however, are quite equal to the Newtown pippin ; and it is highly 

 deserving of cultivation in the valley of the Hudson. Experience will determine its qualities 

 for general use.
