OF WINTER APPLES.

68. BALDWIN. 
Fig. 48. 
Fruit full medium size ; circu¬ 
lar. Color of the ground yel¬ 
low, broadly splashed with 
carmine ; skin dotted with 
yellow. Stein bent, scarcely 
equaling the base ; depres¬ 
sion rather deep. Calyx 
depression shallow, plaited. 
Flesh yellow, juicy, subacid, 
rich and tender. The figure 
was taken from a specimen 
less regular than common. 
The Baldwin ranks first 
among apples, or is equal to 
the Esopus Spitzenburgh, from 
which it is easily distinguished 
by its more depressed form, and the roundness of its dots. 
69. LATE BALDWIN. (Boston Cultivator, vol. ix. 1847.) 
The differences which are enumerated as distinguishing the Late Baldwin from the Bald¬ 
win, are : fruit hard, a little coarse, and better keeper, and superior for cooking; is flat¬ 
ter, and of a brighter red. It has been cultivated in Maine, by the late Mr. Pierce of 
Baldwin. 
Remarks upon the above paragraph. As represented the Baldwin has a longer stem, deeper 
depressions and tapers more to the crown than the Late Baldwin. They both belong to the 
same section, and undoubtedly are closely related to each other. 
70. R1BSTON PIPPIN. 
Fruit of the medium size; large striped, and clouded red upon a yellow ground. Stem 
short, small; depression wide. Flesh granular and rich. 
English. Succeeds best in Maine. 
71. LADIES’ SWEETING. 
Above the medium size, with a narrow crown and apex ; striped red on yellowish green 
ground, the stripes on the same becoming diffused of an even deep tint. Stem short; 
both depressions small. Juicy and rich.
