STUKMEE PIPPIN. — Fruit, below medium size, two inches and a 

 quarter broad, by one inch and three quarters high ; roundish, and 

 somewhat flattened, and narrowing towards the apex, a good deal 

 resembling the old Nonpareil. Skin, of a lively green colour, changing 

 to yellowish green as it attains maturity, and almost entirely covered 

 with brown russet, with a tinge of duU red on the side next the sun. 

 Eye, small and closed, set in a shallow, irregular, and angular basin. 

 Stalk, three quarters of an inch long, straight, inserted in a round, 

 even, and russety cavity. Flesh, yellow, firm, crisp, very juicy, with a 

 brisk and rich sugary flavour. 



This is one of the most valuable dessert apples of its season ; it is 

 of first-rate excellence, and exceedingly desirable both on account of 

 its delicious flavour, and arriving at perfection at a period when the 

 other favourite varieties are past. It is not fit for use till the Bibston 

 Pippin is nearly gone, and continues long after the Nonpareil. The 

 period of its perfection may be fixed from February to June. 



The tree is hardy, and an excellent bearer, and attains about the 

 middle size. 



The Sturmer Pippin was raised by Mr. Dillistone, a nurseryman at Stunner, 

 near Haverhill, in Suffolk ; and was obtained by impregnating the Bibston Pippin 

 with the pollen of Nonpareil.

 three quarters broad at the bulge, and the same in height ; conical, and

 at the apex, terminated at the apex by a number of knobs, which are 

 the continuations of the costal angles. Skin, deep dull yellow, 

 freckled with pale red on the shaded side, the remaining portion 

 entirely covered with bright orange-red. Eye, small and closed, set in 

 a deep and furrowed basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a round and 

 shallow cavity, which is lined with rough russet. Flesh, deep yellow, 

 spongy, juicy, very sweet, so much so as to be sickly.
