130 CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT 



name by which it is distinguished in other parts of 

 the country, I have not been able to ascertain. 

 The fruit is large and fair; of a pale yellow 

 colour; the flesh is sweet, and extremely pleasant; 

 abounding in a rich sirupy juice ; and, as a baking 

 apple, it is of superiour excellence. It ripens in au- 

 tumn, and retains its good properties till March. 

 This fruit ought to be introduced into every or- 

 chard. 



39. Large yellow Newark pippin Yellow pippin 

 French pippin of Newark, c. " Abounds near New- 

 ark, New Jersey; an excellent winter apple, of a 

 greenish colour outside, rich saccharine taste, yel- 

 low substance, and of a higher flavour than the 

 Newton pippin.* It is so abundant in juice, that a 

 barrel of cider has been made from seven bushels ; 

 but the cider is not of the first quality. It is said 

 to have been imported from France." (Mease.) 



40. Maiden's blush. " This is an apple of large 

 size, and great beauty ; exhibiting a lively contrast 

 a yellow ground, with a bright red cheek ; whence 

 it derives its name, given to it by Samuel Allison, 

 esquire, late of Burlington, who first brought it into 

 notice : the form is flat ; the skin smooth ; the flesh 

 white, tender and sprightly ; remarkably light, and 

 fitted for drying, for which it is preferred to any ap- 

 ple of the season ; the stalk is short, and grows in a 

 deep hollow, as does the eye : the fruit ripens in Au- 

 gust, and continues in perfection till the end of Sep- 

 tember ; and is fit both for pies and the table. The 

 tree is uncommonly handsome, as well as vigorous 

 in its growth; forming a fine open and spreading 

 head: it bears abundantly and constantly, and is a 

 very popular apple in the Philadelphia market." 

 (Coxe.) 



41. Michael Henry. "A winter fruit; a long 

 green apple, much admired for the table, in Mon- 

 mouth county, New Jersey. It is a sweet, juicy, 

 sprightly and well flavoured apple."
