A variety from England, which has a very high reputation. Fruit small, about two and a half inches in diameter, regularlyformed, flat, greenish yellow, becoming yellow, with a little red in thesun. Flesh white, crisp, tender, sprightly subacid. Good. February,March. Core small. Pecks Apple. A first-rate fruit in all respects, belonging to the Newtown Pippinclass. It has long been cultivated in Rhode Island, where, we think, itoriginated, and in the northern part of Connecticut, and deserves ex-tensive dissemination. It considerably resembles the Yellow NewtownPippin, with more tender flesh, and is scarcely inferior to it in Pecks Pleasant. The tree is a moderate, upright spreading grower, but bears regu-larly and well, and the fruit commands a high price in the market. Theapples on the lower branches of old trees are flat, while those on theupper branches are nearly conical. Young shoots reddish brown, slightlydowny. Fruit above medium size, roundish, a little ribbed, and slightly flat-tened, with an indistinct furrow on one side. Skin smooth, and whenfirst gathered, green, with a little dark red; but when ripe a beautifulclear yellow, with bright blush on the sunny side and near the stalk,marked with scattered gray dots. The stalk is peculiarly fleshy andflattened, short, and sunk in a wide, rather wavy cavity. Calyx woolly,sunk in a narrow, abruptly, and pretty deeply sunk basin. Flesh yel-lowish, fine-grained, juicy, crisp and tender, with a delicious, high aro-matic sprightly subacid. Yery good or best. November to March. 302 THE APPLE. Pelham Sweet.
