Holland Pippin.
Fig. 148.—HOLLAND PIPPIN.
There is a strange confusion existing in some of the books, by which this fruit has been associated with the Fall Pippin. The Holland, as grown in Western New York, and through the West, as derived from the former State, is entirely different; and as that is extensively known, its description is here given, that it may be compared with the other, which belongs to a different class.
Fruit large, regular, conic, rather oblate; Surface dull yellowish-green, rarely bronzed; Dots minute.
