This is a Worcestershire orchard fruit, highly appreciated and exten- 

 sively grown at Newland, near Malvern, and the surrounding villages. 

 It keeps well even up till February, does not bruise in travelling, or if 

 bruised will not decay. It is a great favourite with Mr. Baron Webster, 

 at the fruit farm of Newland Court, who says he wishes all his orchards 

 were Newland Sacks and Blenheim Pippins.
