GOLDEN PIPPIN. Butter Pippin. Pound Royal. This name is applied to several quite distinct apples, of which the one here de- scribed is much the most important. A com- parison of the descriptions will show that this variety is verj^ similar to Fall Pippin, and that it is suitable for the same uses, adapted to the same regions, and has the same faults.
