Lyman’s Pumpxin Sweet. Ken. 
Pound Sweet. . 
A very large sweet apple, which we received. from Mr. S. 
Lyman, of Manchester, Conn. It is, perhaps, inferiour to the 
Jersey Sweet or the Summer Sweet Paradise for the table, but 
is a very valuable apple for baking, and deserves a place on this 
account in every orchard. ‘ The original tree of this sort is 
growing in Mr. Lyman’s orchard. 
_ Fruit very large, roundish, more or less furrowed or ribbed, 
especially near the stalk. Skin smooth, pale green, with ob- 
scure whitish streaks near the stalk, and numerous white dots 
near the eye, sometimes becoming a little yellow next the sun. 
Stalk short, deeply sunk in a narrow cavity. Calyx rather 
small, set in an abruptly sunk, rather irregular basin. Flesh 
white, very sweet, rich, and tender, but not very juicy. Sep- 
tember to December. . 
There is another Pumpkin Sweet known in this State, which 
is oblong or pearmain-shaped, striped with yellow and red, and 
ripens in August and September; a second rate apple.

roundish, flattened at the ends. Skin smooth, pale yellow
