Color j'ellow, finely splashed with reddish orange upon the base. Calyx of a medium size. Core smaH. Flesh firm, yel- lowish, subacid, high flavored. This apple was raised from the seed by Mr. Slingerland of Albany coimty. In procuring this variety, the seed of two barrels of apples of the Newtown pippin were sown, and only two varieties were obtained, which were wortli cultivating. This is closely allied to the Newtown pippin; but instead of being a winter apple, or along keeper like its parent, it is only a late fall fruit, or an early winter. When carefully gathered, it keeps very well. Its eating qualities, however, are quite equal to the Newtown pippin ; and it is highly deserving of cultivation in the valley of the Hudson. Experience will determine its qualities for general use. 71. OAKE'S APPLE. (Hort. Soc. Cat. of London.) Fiuit of the medium size, irregular in form ; angular.
