A highly flavoured English dessert apple of the Golden Pippin 

 class, which does not succeed well with us. 



Fruit below the middle size, regularly formed, roundish-ovate, 

 somewhat flattened. Skin greenish yellow in the shade, but be- 

 coming a warm orange, with a little red, and dotted with small 

 russet brown specks in the sun. Flesh yellow, crisp, and juicy, 

 with a high, poignant flavour. October to February. 



CRANBERRY PIPPIN. 



This strikingly beautiful apple was found growing on a farm 

 near Hudson, N. Y. It is only second rate, in point of flavour 

 about equal to Hawthornden but it is an excellent cooking 

 apple, and its beautiful appearance and great productiveness, will, 

 we think, render it a popular variety for market. 



Fruit above medium size, very regularly formed, a little flat- 

 tened. Skin very smooth, of a fine clear yellow in the shade, 

 with a bright scarlet cheek. Flesh white, moderately juicy, 

 with a mild, sub-acid flavour. November to February. 



CRACKING.

 sprinkled with large green dots. Stem short, in a rather deep 

 cavity. Calyx closed in a corrugated basin. Flesh, yellowish 

 white, crisp, tender, juicy, and excellent. October to January. 



GULP. 



Origin, Jefferson county, Ohio. Introduced by Georg Gulp. 



Fruit medium, angular, irregularly conic. Skin waxen yel- 

 low, shaded with blush or dull crimson, thickly sprinkled with
