Fruit-culture; Fruit. WORTHY GENERAL CULTIVATION. 93 calyx, medium, segments woolly and often nearly closed ; basin, wide, abrupt, deep, much plaited; fiesh, yellowish white, rather coarse- grained ; breaking, tender, moderately juicy, sub-acid, with consider- able aroma, or perfume; core, small, compact; seeds, oblong ovate, abundant. Season, December to February, and often till April. Nfwtown Pippin. Green Newtown Pippin, Green Winter Pippin, American Newtown Pippin, Petersburg American. Native of Newtown, Long Island, it requires a rich limestone clay soil, or a warm sandy rich loam, well dressed with lime and bone dust, in order to secure healthy wood, and fair, smooth fruit. On sandy soils, abounding more or Jess with iron, we have never seen good fruit grown of this variety. It is distinct in fruit from the Yellow Newtown Pippin, for which see farther pages; but is difficult, if not impossible to detect one from the other by the wood. Growth slender, slow ; as an orchard tree, a fine round head, with branches diverging, pendant. On the rich limestone soils of Ohio, and farther west, 1«his and the Yellow Newtown Pippin succeed, and produce fruit even superior to the world-renowned Pell Orchard. Fruit, medium ; form, roundish oblong flattened ; color, dull green when first gathered, becoming, when ripe, a yellowish green ; small.
