Eemarks. — Extensively grown in the West. Tender, 

 Bub-acid, aromatic. " Not Holland Pippin. Large, hand- 

 some and good." — Trans. Ohio Pom. Society. Is good about 

 Cincinnati, and highly esteemed. It ripens gradually. 

 Does not keep long. The Holland Pippin often con- 

 founded with it; but as the Ohio Pom. Society states 

 above, not the same. Downing strangely suggested that 

 these apples might be confounded. They are not at all 

 alike. The Fall Pippin drops badly from old trees. More 

 open at the eye than the Holland Pippin. ''Excellently 



well adapted to the locality of Cincinnati." F. G. Gary 



President Cincinnati Horticultural Society for 1856. (See 

 Appendix, 35.)
