PLATE XVIT. 
1. NEWTOWN PIPPIN. 
The original of several varieties from America. It is large, of an oblong form, straw 
colour, glossy, with a flush of red ; five ribs encompass the fruit, and rise above the 
eye. It is a well-flavoured juicy apple, but has little of the pine-apple flavour which 
is found in the imported fruit. Its season of use is November and December. 
The tree spreads much, but is a little apt to canker. 
2. SOMERSET LASTING. 
A large and very handsome sauce apple, of an uniform globular shape, clear straw 
colour, with a slight flush of dull red. It is a very good sort during the winter, and 
will keep till March.
