 sprightly ; core, medium, capsule, hollow ; seeds, short ovate. Season, 

 October to January, often keeps till March. 



YELLOW NEWTOWN PIPPIN. 



This variety is extensively grown ; West it becomes large ; keeps 

 well. Trees, though slender growth, good bearers and apparently 

 perfectly at home in rich limestone soils. That there are two New- 

 town Pippins, we do not question ; see " Newtown Pippin ;"but we 

 have the past year supposed there might be three, but whether the 

 distinction is without a difference we are yet unprepared to decide. 

 We give here two figures, and descriptions, of which the latter New- 

 town Pippin of Lewis Sanders, Esq., may possibly prove identical 

 with Y. N. P. 



Fruit, medium, to large ; form roundish, flattened, angular, or 

 broader than long; color, clear yellow, with considerable russet 

 from the stem, many small russet dots, and, where exposed to the 

 sun, the yellow becomes very rich and dotted with carmine dots ; 

 stem, short; cavity, deep ; calyx, large open, segments short, stiff, 

 broad ; basin, broad, irregular only from the slight ribbing of the 

 fruit ; flesh, yellowish, very firm, crisp, juicy ; core, medium ; seeds, 

 purplish black, oblong pyriform. Keeps to June.
