Sweet Pippin

[sketch of apple]

The Sweet Pippin is a flat apple rather above
the midling size the shape horizontally is more
eliptical than circular.  The skin is of a dull red
mixed with a small portion of a greenish yellow not
very unlike the skin of the Greyhouse. The stalk is
short and buried in a pretty large cavity; the blossom
end is also sunk.  The flesh is firm and solid. It is
a dry apple without any extraordinary flavor - and I think
without much to reccommend it. It is a winter apple and
is in eating till the middle or end of February.
