OF WINTER APPLES. 



79 



The apple here described, and of which a figure is given, was exhibited at New-York in 

 1848, as the Warren Pippin. It does not, however, agree with the description furnished 

 by pomologists ; yet I am inclined to regard it as the apple described by Mr. Hoy in 1825, 

 and which Mr. Downing regards as Woolman's Long. 



B. Ends unequal.
