THE APPLE. 



Newtown Pippin, Yellow. 



NORTHERN SPY. 



This beautiful new American fruit is one of the most deli- 

 cious, fragrant, and sprightly of all late dessert apples. It ripens 

 in January, keeps till June, and always commands the highest 

 market price. The tree is of rapid, upright growth, and bears 

 moderate crops. It originated on the farm of Oliver Chapin, of 

 Bloomfield, near Rochester, N. Y. The trees require high 

 culture and open heads to let in the sun, otherwise the fruit is 

 wanting in flavour, and apt to be imperfect and knotty. 



Fruit large, conical-flattened. Skin thin, smooth, in the shade 

 greenish or pale yellow, in the sun covered with light and dark 

 stripes of purplish-red, marked with a few pale dots, and a thin 

 white bloom. Stalk three-fourths of an inch long, rather slender, 

 planted in a very wide, deep cavity, marked with russet. Calyx 

 small, closed ; basin narrow, abrupt, furrowed. Flesh white, 

 fine-grained, tender, slightly sub-acid, with a peculiarly fresh and 

 delicious flavour.
