 •whitish yellow, covered with a thin whitish bloom, and striped and 

 splashed with bright red, large light dots. Stalk rather short and 

 slender, often with bracts. Cavity medium, regular. Calyx closed.

 In fruit this closely resembles the Tetofsky, but the color of the wood, 

 habit of growth, and foliage of old trees render its distinctiveness plain.

Franklin's Golden" Pippin. 

 Sudlow's Fall Pippin. 



Dr. Hogg says : This is an American Apple, and was introduced 

 into England by J ohn Sudlow. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, slightly conic, very regular in shape, 

 rather broadest at the base, deep yellow, freckled with numerous dark 

 spots. Flesh pale yellow, crisp, juicy, rich subacid. Good to very 

 good. The tree grows freely, and forms an upright head. October. 



Under the name of Franklin Golden Pippin we have received an 

 apple from Illinois, and now somewhat grown there, which is quite dis- 

 tinct from the above. It was introduced West from Pennsylvania, 

 under name of Golden Pippin, but in its new locality has had attached, 

 by whom we know not, the prefix of Franklin. There are so many 

 Golden Pippins that it is difficult to decide which shall be entitled to 

 priority of name.
