sed, excentric angular or ridged 
faintly. Color yellow, sunny 
side enlivened with orange.

the base. Depression partially 
closed. Calyx large ; skin

70. SLINGERLAND’S FALL PIPPIN. Plate 32. 
Seedling of the Newtown Pippin, new. 
Fruit the medium size, depressed ; stem projecting. Color yellow, finely splashed with 
reddish orange upon the base. Calyx of a medium size. Core small. Flesh firm, yel¬ 
lowish, subacid, high flavored. 
This apple was raised from the seed by Mr. Slingerland of Albany county. In procuring 
this variety, the seed of two barrels of apples of the Newtown pippin were sown, and 
only two varieties were obtained, which were worth cultivating. This is closely allied to 
the Newtown pippin; but instead of being a winter apple, or a long keeper like its parent, 
it is only a late fall fruit, or an early winter. When carefully gathered, it keeps very well. 
Its eating qualities, however, are quite equal to the Newtown pippin; and it is highly 
deserving of cultivation in the valley of the Hudson. Experience will determine its qualities 
for general use.

saccharine ; flavor wanting.
