IDENTIFICATION.--Fors. Treat. 117. Lind. Guide, 77. Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3. FIGURE.--Brook. Pom. Brit. pl. xcii. f. 4. Fruit, medium sized; oblong, irregularly formed.

SYNONYMES.--Stone Pippin, _Lind. in Hort. Trans._ vol. iv. p. 69. _Lind. Guide_, 82. _Diel Kernobst._ xi. 119. White Stone Pippin, _Hort. Soc. Cat._ ed. 1, 1071. White Pippin, _in Norfolk_. Englischer Kleiner Steinpepping, _Diel Kernobst._ xi. 119. Fruit, below medium size, two inches broad, and the same in height; oblong, slightly angular on the sides, and narrowing a little towards the apex. Skin, smooth and very thin, pale green at first, but changing by keeping to pale yellow with a mixture of green; sometimes it has a slight tinge of red next the sun. Eye, small, half open, with acuminate segments, set in a rather shallow and wide basin. Stalk, slender, half-an-inch long, inserted in a shallow cavity with a fleshy protuberance on one side of it. Flesh, white, firm and breaking, brisk, sweet, and perfumed. 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, affording 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. 249. NORTHERN GREENING.--Hort. IDENTIFICATION.--Hort. Soc. Cat. ed. 3, n. 497. Fors. Treat. 117. Lind. Guide, 77. Diel Kernobst. xi. 83.
