A large, somewhat rough, dull green or yellowish apple often veined with 

 russet. The flesh is sweet, very tender, fine-grained, very good to best in 

 quality; in season from October to January or later. The tree is medium to 

 rather large, upright or roundish, stocky, vigorous, very productive, often 

 carrying so heavy a load of fruit that many of the apples are small. Down- 

 ing states that it originated in the neighborhood of Newark, N. J., about 

 1750 (i). In 1873 (7) it was entered in the catalogue of the American 

 Pomological Society but was dropped from that list in 1897. Bailey does not 

 mention it in his Inventory of Apples Offered by American Nurserymen in 

 1892.1 It has been popular in some portions of the West but so far as we 

 know has never been much cultivated in New York. It is undoubtedly an 

 excellent variety for the home orchard.
