Mr. Sanders, Col-linsburg, La., says: " I can't tell you the exact difference between the Yellow Forest and the Newtown Pippin, as I have not seen the above, but find that the description in Thomas' "Fruit Culturist" differs somewhat. The Yellow Forest is never irregular, and is never large; it is sometimes remotely conical, has no dull brownish blush, and sometimes has a few bright red specks on it; has a good many black specks, especially when left on the trees late; also greenish, dark blotches toward the crown; stem shows about ¼ inch above the apple when viewed from one side, while the Newtown Pippin is very short as shown by Thomas. Some specimens show a little yellowish russet about the stem.

"The Yellow Forest, as I wrote you before, was found growing in the forest when a small bush and transplanted to Capt. Winston's orchard about six miles from my place. The tree has been bearing about twelve years annually; growth rather slender, but makes a beautiful tree, not drooping but diverging. Old cider drinkers say that it makes the best cider they ever drank. Ripens in September and keeps well. I also have the finest October Cling peach that I have ever seen, it is yellow, large and juicy. Both being tested in N. J".
