Pigeon

1815                                   [sketch of apple]

This Apple imported under the name of the
Pigeon appears to be a species of the French
Reinette. It is a fair fruit of midling size,
of a round form, green skin, inclining to yellow
as it ripens. rough with small dots, the stalk
very short and deeply planted, the flesh rich
sprightly and firm, ripens in November
and keeps well.
