HOW AN APPLE GOT ITS NAME.
Most folk like Kinston Pippins, but few know the origin of this funny-looking name. Long ago Sir Henry Good riche, so the story runs, had three apple pips sent to him from Rouen, in France. It may be supposed that they were the seeds of a very tine kind of apple, for Sir Henry took the trouble to plant them in the garden of his house at Ribston, in Yorkshire. Two of the pips died, but from the third were derived all the Ribston apple trees in England. The fruit was called Ribston from its English birthplace, ami Pippin from the original pip that was sent over from Normandy.
