Fall Pippin. 



York Pippin, Episcopal, Philadelphia Pippin, 



Pound Pippin, Golden Pippin, erroneously. Pound Royal of some. 



Cathead, incorrectly. 



The Fall Pippin is, we think, decidedly an American variety. It is 

 very probably a seedling raised in this country from the White Span- 



Fall Pippin. 



ish Heinette, or the Holland pippin, both of which it so much resem- 

 bles, and from which it, in fact, differs most strongly in the season of 

 maturity. The Fall Pippin is a noble fruit, and is considered the fu-st 

 of autumn apples in the Middle States, where its beauty, large size, and 

 its deKcious flavor for the table or for cooking, render it very popular. 



The tree is a very vigorous, strong grower, upright spreading. 

 Young shoots reddish brown. 



Fruit very large, rou.ndish, generally a little flattened, pretty regular, 

 sometimes with obscure ribs at the eye. Stalk rather long, three-fourths 

 of an inch, projecting considerably beyond the fruit (which distinguishes 

 it from the Holland Pippin), set in a rather small, shallow, round cavity. 

 Calyx open, not very large, rather deeply sunk in a round, narrow basin. 

 Skin smooth, yellowish green, becoming a fine yellow, with often a 

 tinge of brownish blush on one side, and with a few scattered dots. 

 Flesh white, very tender and mellow, with a rich, aromatic flavor. 

 Very good to best. October to December. 



From Vermont. 



Fall Spitzenburgh. 

 Tree a fair grower and good bearer.
