147. NEW YORK PIPPIN. G. Lindl Plan of an 

 Orchard, 1796. 



New York Pippin. Hort. Soc. Cat. No. 642. 



Fruit rather large, of an oblong figure, somewhat 

 pyramidal, rather irregular in its outline, and slightly 

 pentangular on its sides, three of which are generally 

 much shorter than the other, forming a kind of lip at 

 the crown ; from two inches and a half to three inches 

 deep, and the same in diameter at the base. Eye closed, 

 rather deeply sunk in a very uneven irregular basin. 

 Stalk half an inch long, slender, rather deeply inserted 

 in a wide uneven cavity. Skin dull greenish yellow, with 

 a few green specks, intermixed with a little skin, grey 

 russet, and tinged with brown on the sunny side. Flesh 

 firm, crisp, tender. Juice plentiful, saccharine, with a 

 slight aromatic flavour. 



A dessert apple from November till April. 



An American variety of excellence. The tree grows 

 large, and bears well. It sometimes happens with this 

 as it does with Hubbard's Pearmain, that smooth fruit 

 grow upon one branch and russetty ones upon another ; 

 and in cold seasons the fruit are for the most part rus- 

 setty. 



It was named the New York Pippin by Mr. Mackie, 

 and first propagated in his Nursery at Norwich about 

 forty years ago. Its name first appeared in 1796 in my 

 Plan of an Orchard, and was afterwards copied, with- 

 out acknowledgment, with almost all the rest, togethefr 

 with their synonyms and characters, into Mr. Forsyth's 

 Treatise on Fruit Trees. I have, for this reason, in the 

 present instance and in some others, quoted my own pub- 

 lication as a matter of priority, and given the authority, 

 where I have been able to find any, for all other fruits 

 introduced into this work. If I have omitted any, I 

 have very humbly to crave the author's indulgence.
