HUGHES’S GOLDEN P IP P IN APPLE.

Very different from the Old Golden Pippin, and
in many respects inferior to that variety, (as what is
not?) this deserves to rank among the most useful
and beautiful table-fruits of England. It is remarkable
for the neatness of its appearance, its rich
golden hue, (in which it surpasses its rival,) and for
the great productiveness and perfect health of the
trees. It bears most abundantly, grafted upon the
common English Paradise stock, which is the Dou-
cin stock of the French, and perfectly different,
both in appearance and in effect, from the real
Paradise of Holland and France.
It does not ripen till December, and will keep
through the winter.
S hoots vigorous, dark brown, and silvery,
sprinkled with small, irregular, whitish spots.
L eaves mid d le -sized , ovate, tapering to the
point, sharply serrated. P etioles moderately
strong, about an inch in length. S tipu l es lanceolate,
generally more than half the length of the
petiole.
F lowers large, pale. P etals ovate.
F ruit middle-sized, globular, slightly flattened
