Fruit large, and, when fully ripe, of an attractive yellow color. 

 The flesh is tender, rich and very good in quality, being excellent 

 for dessert but especially desirable for culinary uses. The tree is 

 a strong grower, hardy and very long-lived, eventually becoming 

 large or very large. Since the foliage and fruit are both quite sub- 

 ject to the attacks of the apple-scab fungus, thorough preventive 

 treatment for this disease is necessary in order to grow Fall Pippin 

 successfully for commercial purposes.^ The crop does not ripen 

 iniiformly, some of the fruit being ripe, well colored and ready 

 for immediate use in September, while at the same time a consider- 

 able portion of the crop is still hard and green. When grown 

 under favorable conditions and properly handled some portion of 

 the crop may keep till midvv'inter or later, but even carefully 

 selected fruit cannot be relied upon to hold in common storage till 

 December ist without considerable loss. In cold storage it may 

 be held till January or February (33). Fall Pippin is generally 

 in pretty good demand in local markets, and in portions of Eastern 

 New York it is being used to a limited extent for the early export 

 trade. It is one of the most desirable varieties of its season for 

 the home orchard. 



Holland Pippin and Fall Pippin Compared. 

 From the time of Coxe (2), Fall Pippin has by some been called 

 Holland Pippin. The Holland Pippin indeed much resembles Fall 

 Pippin, but it differs from it in being in season from mid-August
