PLATE LXXIII. 
6. SUGARLOAF PIPPIN. 
[Syn : Hutchings Seedling .] 
It is called Hutchings’ seedling from having got into the hands of a market gardener named 
Hutchings, of Kensington, about the beginning of the present century. 
Description. —Fruit: above medium size, two inches and three quarters wide, and three 
inches high ; oblong. Skin : clear, pale yellow, becoming nearly white when fully ripe. Eye : set 
in a rather deep, and plaited basin. Stalk : an inch long, inserted in a deep, and regular cavity. 
Flesh : white, firm, crisp, juicy, brisk, and pleasantly flavoured. 
An excellent early culinary apple, attractive in appearance, and of high quality. It is in 
season through August and the beginning of September. 
The tree is robust and full of foliage. The leaves often curl up so as to show the glaucous 
under surface. It bears very freely, and for its short season, is a fine market apple.
