 reddish orange upon the base. Calyx of a medium size. Core smaH. Flesh firm, yel-

This apple was raised from the seed by Mr. Slingerland of Albany coimty. In procuring 

 this variety, the seed of two barrels of apples of the Newtown pippin were sown, and 

 only two varieties were obtained, which were wortli cultivating. This is closely allied to 

 the Newtown pippin; but instead of being a winter apple, or along keeper like its parent, 

 it is only a late fall fruit, or an early winter. When carefully gathered, it keeps very well. 

 Its eating qualities, however, are quite equal to the Newtown pippin ; and it is highly 

 deserving of cultivation in the valley of the Hudson. Experience will determine its qualities 

 for general use.
