Ribstone Pippin

[sketch of apple]

This is a large apple rather flat or round than long,
from Yorkshire in England.  It is steaked with red
and yellow partaking something
of a russet appearance.  It is in Season from
October to April and is one of the best apples in England
for baking and eating.  It was given to me by Mr
Joseph Priestly the Son of Dr Priestly of Northumberland,
Pennsa [Pennsylvania].  See Forsyth Phil. Ed. pa. 40.
