OF WINTER APPLES. 



The apple hero described, and of which a figure is given, was exhibited at New-York in 

 1848, as the Warren Pippin. It does not, however, agree witli the description furnished 

 by pomologists ; yet I am inclined to regard it as the apple described by Mr. Hoy in 1825, 

 and which Mr. Downing regards as Woolnian's Long. 



B. Ends unequal. 



81. YELLOW BELLEFLEUR. 



Fig. M. 



Fruit above the medium size ; 

 sub-pentangular, elongated, 

 tapering from about the mid- 

 dle. Color yellow. Sunny 

 side enlivened with a crimson 

 blush if exposed, or spotted 

 with oblong crimson spots. 

 Stem slender, exsert ; depres- 

 sion wide; crown narrow, en- 

 closing a large calyx ; depres- 

 sions marked with about five 

 plaits. Flesh yellowish white,

 fine apple, and quite uniform 

 in Maryland and New-York.
