An English culinary variety from Stamford. Rated by Hogg as handsome, excellent for culinary use, and a good keeper.

Brown's Seedling is a little-known English cooking apple, raised in the latter half of the 19th century by Messrs. Brown, nurserymen of Stamford in the county of Lincolnshire.

The Victorian pomologist Robert Hogg rated as "excellent for culinary purposes". It cooks to a pleasant but mild-flavoured puree.
