Fruit of good marketable size, rather attractive for a yellow 

 apple, and a good keeper (15, 20). It is excellent for culinary 

 use. but too acid to be agreeable for dessert. The tree is a very 

 strong grower and quite productive in"* alternate years. Possibly it 

 is worthy of growing to a limited extent for market, but it is inferior 

 to good red apples like Baldwin and Sutton both in appearance and 

 for dessert uses. In England it is esteemed as one of the most 

 valuable culinary apples (15). 



Historical. I^rst exhibited to the Royal Horticultural Society, London, in 

 1820 under the name Wellington, but prior to that it had been extensively 

 cultivated under the name of Dumelow's Crab, taking its name from the 

 farmer with whom it originated (15).
