An autumn apple of good color and good quality. Tree rather upright, 

 moderately vigorous, moderately productive. It comes into bearing early 

 and yields some fruit nearly every year. Not recommended for planting in 

 New York. 



Historical. Received from Ellwanger and Barry, Rochester, N. Y., in 

 1883 for testing at this Station. We do not know its origin. So far as we 

 have learned it is practically unknown among New York fruit growers.
