This Apple is considerably grown in the New England States and 

 Western New York, and is one of the largest of its class, specimens 

 sometimes weighing 20 ounces. Tree very vigorous and very productive 

 on deep rich soils ; on light soils it is often a shy bearer, the fruit much 

 smaller.

 yellow at full maturity, slight blush of brown crimson in sun-exposed 

 specimens. Flesh yellowish, coarse, juicy, tender, mild subacid. Core 

 small. Good to very good. November, December. 



There is another Golden Pippin sometimes known as Porter in Mich- 

 igan, which is of medium size, roundish oblate, greenish yellow, mild 

 subacid. Ripe in September and October.
