YELLOW NEWTOWN PIPPIN. 

 Albemarle Pippin. 



The Yellow Newtown Pippin is handsomer in appearance, and has a 

 higher perfume than the Green or Newtown Pippin, and its flesh is 

 rather firmer, and equally high flavored ; while the Green is more juicy, 

 crisp, and tender. The Yellow Newtown Pippin is rather flatter, 

 measuring only about two inches deep, and it is always quite oblique 

 projecting more on one side of the stalk than the other. When fully 

 ripe it is yellow, sometimes with a rather lively red cheek, and a smooth 

 skin, few or none of the spots on the Green variety, but with the same 

 russet marks at the stalk. It is also more highly fragrant before and 

 after it is cut than the Green. The flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, and with 

 a very rich and high flavor. Both the Newtown Pippins grow alike, 

 and they are both excellent bearers. This variety is rather hardier and 

 succeeds best. February to May.
