The fruits and fruit trees of America; or, the culture, propagation, and management, in the garden and orchard, of fruit trees generally; with descriptions of all the finest varieties of fruit, native and foreign, cultivated in this country . ow. Coxe. Thomp. The Yellow Newtown Pippin strongly resembles the forego-ing, and it is diflBcult to say which is the superior fruit. TheYellow is handsomer, and has a higher perfume than the Green,and its flesh is rather firmer, and equally high flavoured; whilethe Green is more juicy, crisp, and tender. The Yellow New-town Pippin is rather flatter, measuring only about two inchesdeep, and it is always quite oblique—projecting more on oneside of the stalk than the other. When fully ripe, it is yellow,with a rather lively red cheek, and a smooth skin, few or none ofthe spots on the Green variety, but with the same russet marksat the stalk. It is also more highly fragrant before, and after, itis cut than the Green. The flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, and witha very rich and high flavour. Both the Newtown pippins growalike, and they are both excellent bearers. This variety israther hardier and succeeds best in the Eastern States. Wehave kept the fruit until the 4th of July. 90 THE Newtown Pippin, Yellow. Northern Spy. This beautiful new American fruit is one of the most deli-cious, fragrant, and sprightly of all late dessert apples. It ripensin January, keeps till June, and always commands the highestmarket price. The tree is of rapid, upright growth, and bearsmoderate crops. It originated on the farm of Oliver Chapin, ofBloomfield, near Rochester, N. Y. The trees require highculture and open heads to let in the sun, otherwise the fruit iswanting in flavour, and apt to be imperfect and knotty. Fruit large, conical-flattened. Skin thin, smooth, in the shadegreenish or pale yellow, in the sun covered with light and darkstripes of purplish-red, marked with a few pale dots, and a thinwhite bloom. Stalk three-fourths of an inch
