OF WINTER APPLES.

68. BALDWIN. 



Fig. 48. 



Friiii full mediuin size ; circu- 

 lar. Color of the ground yel- 

 low, broadly splashed with 

 carmine ; skin dotted with 

 yellow. Stem bent, scarcely 

 equaling the base ; depres- 

 sion rather deep. Calyx 

 depression shallow, plaited. 

 Flesh yellow, juicy, subacid, 

 rich and tender. The figure 

 was taken from a specimen 

 less regular than common. 



The Baldwin ranks first 

 among apples, or is equal to 

 the Esopus Spitzenburgh, from 

 which it is easily distinguished 

 by its more depressed form, and the roundness of its dots. 



69. LATE BALDWIN. (Boston Cultivator, vol. ix. 1847.) 

 The differences which are enumerated as distinguishing the Late Baldwin from the Bald- 

 win, are : fruit hard, a little coarse, and better keeper, and superior for cooking; is flat- 

 ter, and of a brighter red. It has been cultivated in Maine, by the late Mr. Pierce of 

 Baldwin. 



Remarks upon the above paragraph. As represented the Baldwin has a longer stem, deeper 

 depressions and tapers more to the crown than the Late Baldwin. They both belong to the 

 same section, and undoubtedly are closely related to each other. 



70. RIBSTON PIPPIN. 

 Fruit of the medium size; large striped, and clouded red upon a yellow ground, 

 short, small ; depression wide. Flesh granular and rich. 

 English. Succeeds best in Maine. 



Stem 



71. LADIES' SWEETING. 

 Above the medium size, with a narrow crown and apex ; striped red on yellowish green 

 ground, the stripes on the same becoming diffused of an even deep tint. Stem short; 

 both depressions small. Juicy and rich.
