 it in any part of the county.

NOKFOLK STONE PIPPIN {Stone Pippin ; White Stone Pip-pin ;

An excellent long-keeping culinary apple, and useful also in the 

 dessert ; it is in use from November to July. In the " Guide to the 

 Orchard," Mr. Lindley says, " This is a valuable Norfolk apple, known 

 in the Norwich market by the name of White Pippin. The fruit when 

 peeled, sliced, and boiled in sugar, becomes transparent, afibrding for 

 many months a most delicious sweetmeat for tarts." 



The tree is a free and vigorous grower, and attains the middle size. 

 It is a regular and abundant bearer.

This is sometimes called Cowame Queening, but that is a very different variety, 

 and is a cider apple.
