^rbite Fall Pippin. 



FAJLL PIPPIN or LOITISVILLB. 



This handsome fruit is seen in quantities in the Louis- 

 ville market every fall. Its cultivation does not appear 

 to have been widely extended, nor has its origin been 

 traced. It lias been thought to resemble the Spanish Rei- 

 nette, with which I have not had an opportunity to com- 

 pare it.

 globular-oblate ; Surface smooth, pale yellow, not bronzed 

 or blushed, but having a whitish striping toward the 

 stem end ; Dots scattered, minute, dark. 



Basin abrupt, narrow, deep and folded ; Eye small, long, 

 closed. 



Cavity wide, wavy ; Stem very short. 



Core wids, regular, somewhat open, clasping the eye ; 

 Seeds numerous, angular ; Flesh yellowish-white, breaking, 

 juicy ; Flavor sub-acid, aromatic and rich ; Useful for cook- 

 ing, drying, and table ; Season October. 



'White Juneatingr. 



JXTNEATTKa, Coxe. — ^TELLOW JUUE. — BASVY MAY? 



Downing thinks this a very old variety, mentioned by 

 Evelyn in 1660, and by Ray in 1688. It has long been 

 known in the West and South as a very early apple, and 

 valued on this account, though quite small. The tree re- 

 sembles that of the Early Harvest in the color and ar- 

 rangement of its twigs. 



Fruit flat, regular ; Surface smooth, pale yellow.
