Hunts Green Newtown Pippin

This apple which grows in great perfection in the County of
Hunterdon not many miles from Trenton, and is propagated by only a few of
the farmers of the County of Hunterdon is of a midling
size never growing so large as the large flat (yellow) Newton-
Pippin the kind generally known under that name.
The tree more vigorous, the fruit often more long than flat,
the skin is smooth, of a delicate but lively green with very
little of the yellow cast even when ripe-- The flesh like
the skin is never very yellow, is crisp or breaking, juicy
tender and well flavored, and from the middle of January
to May is probably the most exquisite Apple of our
Country -- the stalk is short and thick and generally grows in
a deep cavity, there are frequently large black cloudy spots interposed
with small dark red spots on the skin which is 
often of a polished smoothness.

Of a moderate
Size.

The stocks were planted out Nov~1805. pa 815 post-
