Herefordshire Golden Pippin. Koening-'s Pippelin. 



Reinette d'Ang'leterre. 



The Golden Pippin of the English is the queen of all dessert Apples, 

 in the estimation of the English connoisseurs, as it unites the qualities 

 of small size, fine form, and color, with high flavor and durability. It 

 is a very old variety, being mentioned by Evelyn in 1660, but it still 

 thrives well in many parts of England. 



Fruit small, round, and regularly formed, gold color, dotted with 

 gray russety dots, with also obscure white specks imbedded under the 

 skin. Flesh yellowish, crisp, rather acid, but with a rich, brisk, high 

 flavor. Very good. A great bearer, but requires a strong, deep, sandy 

 loam. November to March. Does not succeed well here. 



There are many varieties of the English Golden Pippin, differing but 

 little in general appearance and size, and very little in flavor, from the 

 old sort, but of rather more thrifty growth; the best of these are 

 Hughes', and Kirke's new Cluster Golden Pippins. 



Golden Pippin. 

 Pittstown Pippin. 



This is an old Apple, grown many years ago in Adams, Mass., from 

 whence it was brought to Pittstown, and has been recently christened 

 after that place. The tree is an upright vigorous grower, with large 

 strong branches. Shoots dull brownish red, slightly downy. 



Fruit rather large, roundish oblate, sometimes conic, and sides un- 

 equal, greenish yellow with a blush in sun exposure. Flesh yellowish, 

 tender, juicy, sprightly subacid. Core rather large. Good for cooking. 

 September and October.
