38. Loring sweeting. The apple, known by this 

 name, was brought from the county of Bristol, by Mr. 

 E. Loring, of Plympton, Plymouth county, and is 

 much cultivated in this vicinity ; its origin, or the 

 name by which it is distinguished in other parts of 

 the country, 1 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 autumn, and re- 

 tains its good properties till March. This fruit ought 

 to be introduced into every orchard.

 French pippin of 'Newark, c. "Abounds near Newark, 

 New Jersey ; an excellent winter apple, of a greenish 

 colour outside, rich saccharine taste, yellow 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.)
