. Cyclopedia of hardy fruits. Fruit; Fruit-culture. 19. Fall Pippin. (XVa) FALL PIPPIN. Fig. 19. Autumn Pippin. Pound Pippin. Summer Pippin. York Pippin. Though one of the oldest American apples, it is doubtful whether Fall Pippin is properly ap- preciated. The name is inapt, as in the North the fruit keeps well into mid-winter, and is of first rate quality to the very last. The color is a beautiful golden yellow, and the flesh is tender, rich, crisp, aromatic, and of delectable quality either for dessert or for culinary uses. The trees are hardy, healthy, long-lived, and veiy large; few trees carry a more majestic port at maturity. Unfortunately, tree and fruit are most inviting prey to the apple-scab fungus; this accounts for the neglect into which the variety fell a generation ago, but, with means of controlling the scab, its culture should be renewed. The habitat of the variety is New England, where it has been grown for at least a centuiy and a half. Tree large, very vigorous, spreading, with long branches â which become drooping. Fruit large or very large, uniform in size and shape, round to round-oblate, in- clined to conic, sometimes oblong and truncate, often obscurely ribbed ; stem long, thiclt; cavity acute, wide, symmetrical or compressed, russettd; calyx large, open; lobes separated at the base, long, narrow, acuminate; basin wide, abrupt, wavy, wrinkled; skin thin, smooth, clear yellow, sometimes faintly blushed; dots numerous, small,' pale and submerged or russet; calyx-tube large, wide, long, conical ; stamens median ; core medium size, abaxile; cells , closed or partly open : core- lines meeting or clasping; carpels round, emarginate, tufted; seeds dark brown, acute, plump; flesh yellow, firm, fine, tender, very juicy, agreeably subacid, aromatic; verj" good ; late September to January.
