_Synonyms_: Summer Pippin, Pie Apple.
This and the Fall Pippin are frequently confounded together. They are
indeed of the same origin. One of the strongest points of difference
lies in their time of ripening. The Holland Pippin begins to fall from
the trees and is fit for pies about the middle of August, and from that
time to the first of November is one of the very best kitchen apples.
Fruit very large, roundish, a little more square in outline than the
Fall Pippin, and not so much flattened, though a good deal like it, a
little narrowed next the eye. Stalk half an inch long, thick, deeply
sunk. Calyx small, closed, moderately sunk in a slight plaited basin.
Skin greenish yellow or pale green, becoming pale yellow when fully
ripe, washed on one side with a little dull red or pale brown, with a
few scattered, large, greenish dots. Good.
