Newtown Pippin (Albemarle Pippin) — This 

 variety is of only local value, as it succeeds only in a 

 few sections, but where it can be grown it is very 

 profitable. It somewhat resembles the Ehode Island 

 Greening, but is smoother, more beautiful and of better 

 quality. It is well known in European markets, where 

 it brings the highest prices.
