ascribed to this variety, is more likely to have been 

 some misnomer. It is remarkable for its beauty, 

 and for the rich agreeable acid of its juice. It bears 

 freely as a standard. 



Wood strong, downy; where naked, of a clear 

 chestnut colour, speckled with small spots. 



Leaves broadly ovate, acuminate, somewhat 

 concave, or more frequently flat, sharply serrated ; 

 PETIOLES of middling length; stipules linear- 

 lanceolate, sometimes as long as the petiole. 



Flowers middle-sized. Petals roundish, cor- 

 date at the base, much imbricated. 



Fruit middle-sized, oval, rather broadest at 

 the base. Eye slightly sunk in an even liollow, 

 surrounded by very minute plaits, .generally closed 

 by the segments of the calyx. Stalk short, in a 

 deep cavity. Skin deep yellow, with a tinge of 

 green, sprinkled with numerous well-defined dee]) 

 brown spots. Flesh yellowish, breaking, juicy, 

 with a rich agreeable acidity. 



This must not be confounded with the true 

 Fall Pippin, which is a very different variety.
