SYSTEMATIC POMOLOGY. 



the Green is more juicy, crisp, and tender. The Yellow Xewtown 

 Pippin is rather flatter, measuring only about two inches deep, and 

 it is always quite oblique projecting more on one side of the stalk 

 than the other. When fully ripe it is yellow, sometimes with a 

 rather lively red cheek, and a smooth skin, few or none of the spots 

 on the Green variety, but with the same russet marks at the stalk. 



Yellow Newtown. 



It is also more highly fragrant before and after it is cut than the 

 Green. The flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, and with a very rich and high 

 flavor. Both the Newtown Pippins grow alike, and they are both 

 excellent bearers. This variety is rather hardier and succeeds best.
