Fruit, large, three inches wide and two inches and three quarters high; conical, broad at the base and narrow at the apex, which is generally higher on one side than the other. Skin, deep lively red, streaked with crimson on the side next the sun; but yellow, faintly streaked with light red on the shaded side, and strewed with numerous minute russety dots. Eye, small and open, with broad, and slightly connivent segments, set in a rather narrow, and somewhat angular basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a wide, and deep cavity, which is lined with thin grey russet. Flesh, yellowish, firm, crisp, and juicy, with a brisk and slightly perfumed flavor. A useful apple either for culinary purposes or the dessert but only of second-rate quality; it is in use from December to February. The tree attains the largest size, is strong, vigorous, and an abundant bearer. 209. LINCOLNSHIRE HOLLAND PIPPIN.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, 409.
