DESCRIPTIONS

 sed, excentric angular or ridged 

 faintly. Color yellow, sunny 

 side enlivened with orange. 

 Stein long, projecting beyond 

 the base. Depression partially 

 closed. Calyx large ; skin

70. SLINGERLAND'S FALL PIPPIN. Plate 32. 



Seedling of the JVewtown Pippin, new. 



Fruit the medium size, depressed ; stem projecting. Color 3'ellow, finely splashed with 

 reddish orange upon the base. Calyx of a medium size. Core small. Flesh firm, yel- 

 lowish, subacid, high flavored. 



This apple was raised from the seed by Mr. Slingerland of Albany county. In procuring 

 this variety, the seed of two barrels of apples of the Newtown pippin were sown, and 

 only two varieties were obtained, which were worth cultivating. This is closely allied to 

 the Newtown pippin; but instead of being a winter apple, or a long keeper like its parent, 

 it is only a late fall fruit, or an early winter. When carefully gathered, it keeps very well. 

 Its eating qualities, however, are quite equal to the Newtown pippin ; and it is highly 

 deserving of cultivation in the valley of the Hudson. Experience will determine its qualities 

 for general use.

 interrupted streaks of brown. Skin thickly dotted, and slightly russet on the sunny side.

 saccharine ; flavor wanting. 

 An English, and ripe in November.
