Origin / History
John J. Thomas's The American Fruit Culturist (1903) records the name in a cross-reference entry reading: "Sheep Nose. See Bullock's Pippin. Other sorts of the name." Thomas's entry thus directs the reader to Bullock's Pippin as the variety under which the Sheepnose is treated, and it notes that the name is also borne by other sorts. No originator, place of origin, or date of introduction is given.
