147. NEW- YORK PIPPIN. G. Lindl. Plan of an Or- 

 chard, 1796. 



New- York Pippin. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 642. 



Fruit rather large, of an oblong figure, somewhat pyra- 

 midal, rather irregular in its outline, and slightly pentangu- 

 lar on its sides, three of which are generally much shorter 

 than the other, forming a kind of lip at the crown ; from two 

 inches and a half to three inches deep, and the same in di- 

 ameter at the base. Eye closed, rather deeply sunk in a 

 very uneven irregular basin. Stalk half an inch long, slen- 

 inserted in a wide uneven cavity. Skin 

 with a few green specks, intermixed 

 gray russet, and tinged with brown on the 

 sunny side. Flesh firm, crisp, tender. Juice plentiful, 

 saccharine, with a slight aromatic flavour. 



A dessert apple from November till April. 



An American variety of excellence. The tree grows 

 large, and bears well. It sometimes happens with this as 

 it does with Hubbard's Pearmain, that smooth fruit grow 

 upon one branch and russetty ones upon another ; and in 

 cold seasons the fruit are for the most part russetty. 



It was named the New-York Pippin by Mr. Mackie, and 

 first propagated in his Nursery at Norwich about forty 

 years ago.

Fruit middle-sized, oblong, irregularly formed. Eye 

 very large, deeply sunk, in an uneven, oblique hollow. Stalk 

 rather short, not deeply inserted. Skin greenish yellow ; 

 on the sunny side of a brownish red, streaked with a darker 

 colour. Flesh White, very firm. Juice abundant, and of 

 a very excellent flavour. 



A dessert apple from October till March. 



149. NORTHERN GREENING. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 

 693. Forsyth, Ed. 3. No. 127. 



Fruit above the middle size, of an oblong figure, scarcely 

 angular on its sides, about three inches deep, and two 

 inches and three quarters in diameter. Eye rather small, 

 with a closed calyx, seated in a somewhat narrow, shallow, 

 irregularly plaited basin. Stalk short and thick, inserted 

 without any cavity, but connected by a projecting lip on one 

 side, similar to that of the Lemon Pippin. Skin pale dull 

 green, sprinkled with specks of darker green imbedded in 

 the skin ; on the sunny side it is tinged with a pale brown,
