70 Account of Apples cultivated in Norfolk, 



yellowish red on the exposed side, and a little russet round 

 the stalk. Flesh greenish, crisp, juicy, and sweet. This is 

 so excellent a keeper, that it is always to be found in the 

 Norwich market in the August of the following year. It is 

 another real Norfolk Apple, of great merit. It is known 

 every where in the county by the name of White Pippin ; but 

 it is a very different Apple from the Yorkshire White Pippin, 

 which is a flattish fruit. This, from its density, I have al- 

 ways considered as the true Stone Pippin. It never has much 

 colour in the most exposed samples ; hence it differs from 

 the one mentioned by Mr. Forsyth. It is very hardy, 

 makes a large tree, and is a great bearer. 



14. Winter Queening. This is about the middle size ; glo- 

 bular, with prominent ribs on the side ; the eye is large, in 

 a shallow cavity ; stalk short, not deeply inserted ; the skin 

 is pale green, with deep red mixed with russet on the exposed 

 side. The flesh is white with a mixture of green, crisp, 

 juice, having a slight aromatic perfume. It is sometimes 

 also called Butch Queening. It is a valuable kitchen fruit, 

 and an excellent market-gardener's Apple, packing well for 

 long carnage. Is is known principally in the south and 

 south-east parts of this county, and the adjoining parts of 

 Suffolk. The young shoots are erect, of a very dark brown 

 colour, and glossy. It grows very fast, makes a large tree, 

 is very hardy, and a great bearer. 



15. Dutch Mignonne. A handsome globular Apple ; eye 

 small, rather prominent: stalk short, deeply inserted ; skin 

 unusually thm, pale green, with bright scarlet on the side 

 next the sup. Flesh yellow, crisp, with a brisk astringent
