Michael Henry Pippin
Apple

This is a green apple turning yellow as it becomes ripe, about
the size of Hunts green Pippin; rather long and produced or
pointed towards the blossom end. The flesh is remarkably tender &
until too ripe is high flavored and juicy.  Rather melting of a rich
yellow color -- in perfection in midwinter. One of the most estimable
apples of our Country, originally from Monmouth County NJ.
The tree is remarkably thrifty and handsome of a Straight form
[illegible] shaped head, bears very early & frequently in the Nursery -
Stalk short --
