THE APPLE.

Hative of he French, which is more yellow, and somewhat 
resembles it. 
Republican Pippin. 
Origin, Lycoming Co., Pa. First discovered by George Webb, 
who gave it the name. Tree of strong, but crooked growth, 
only moderately productive. Fruit large, irregularly oblate. 
Skin dull yellow, mostly shaded with red, somewhat striped and 
marbled, and thinly sprinkled with large grey dots. Stalk long, 
slender, inserted in a deep cavity, surrounded with thin russet. 
Calyx small, closed ; basin rather narrow and abrupt. Flesh 
whitish, tender, juicy, with a pleasant, mild, sub-acid flavour. It 
is said to be unsurpassed for cooking and drying. September,

Formosa Pippin. 
Rockliill’s Russet. 
The Ribston Pippin, a Yorkshire apple, stands as high in 
Great Britain as the Bank of England, and to say that an apple 
has a Ribston flavour is, there, the highest praise that can be 
bestowed. But it is scarcely so much esteemed here, and must 
be content to give place, with us, to the Newtown Pippin, the 
Swaar, the Spitzenburgh, or the Baldwin. In Maine, and parts 
of Canada, it is very fine and productive. 
Fruit of medium size, roundish. Skin greenish yellow, mix- 
ed with a little russet near the stalk, and clouded with dull red 
on the sunny side. Stalk short, slender, planted in a rather 
wide cavity. Calyx small, closed, and set in an angular basin. 
Flesh deep yellow, firm, crisp, with a sharp, rich, aromatic fla- 
vour. The tree forms a spreading top. November to April. 
Richardson. 
Origin, farm of Ebenezer Richardson, Mass. Fruit large, 
roundish, conic, mostly covered with red, bright in the sun, with 
numerous large, light specks. Stem rather stout, in a large 
cavity. Calyx large, open, in a deep narrow basin. Flesh 
greenish white, remarkably tender, juicy, with a fine, rich, almost 
saccharine flavour. Last of August, and September. (Cole.) 
Ridge Pippin. 
Fruit rather large, roundish, conical, very much ribbed. Skin 
yellow, very slightly shaded, sprinkled with russet and crimson
