 Fruit middle-sized, somewhat irregularly formed, with a 

 few broad, obtuse, indistinct angles on its sides, and gene- 

 rally more broad than long ; about two inches and three 

 quarters in diameter, and two inches and a quarter deep. Eye 

 rather small, with a closed calyx, placed in an irregularly 

 angular basin. Stalk half an inch long, slender, inserted 

 in a rather narrow, funnel-shaped cavity, seldom protruding 

 beyond the base. Skin pale yellow, russetty in the crown 

 and round the stalk, and mottled thinly with dull red on 

 the sunny side. Flesh pale yellow, firm, crisp. Juice sac- 

 charine, with a pungent, rich, and delicious aromatic fla-- 

 vour. 



A dessert apple from October till April, but it is gene- 

 rally in its greatest perfection when it has been gathered a 

 month or six weeks. 



The Ribston Pippin may be truly said to be one of the 

 best, and certainly is one of the most popular dessert apples 

 of the present day, as well known as the Golden Pippin and 

 the Nonpareil ; and a greater number of trees of it are sold 

 by nurserymen throughout England, than of both those sorts 

 put together. It was raised, according to traditionary ac- 

 counts, from some pips v/hich which were brought from 

 Rouen, about the year 1688, and sown in the garden at 

 Ribston Plall, near Knaresborough, in the county of York.
