Fall or Holland Pippin

[sketch of apple]

1812

The Holland Pippin is a very large fair apple
of a green color turning yellow when fully ripe.  The
skin is very smooth with small black clouds. The 
stalk short and planted in a deep hollow, as well as
the blossom end.  The flesh is rich, juicy, <s>and</s> yellow &
sprightly.  The tree is vigorous and of very strong
growth.  In every respect the tree and fruit
resemble the fine Fall Pippin.  It is in perfection
in the month of October.  It is a very much admired
apple for the table and for cooking.

April 5, 1828  Recd [received] from Mr Joseph Higbee of 
Trenton a large fair apple of this kind which
had been kept from 7 Octob. last  by one
Frances Saban immersed in charcoal
perfectly sound, but tasted overripe, not
in the least affected on its taste - or colour.
