SYNONYM. Pomme de Transylvania (2). 



An attractive yellow apple sometimes blushed, desirable for market and 

 culinary uses and acceptable for dessert. If productive enough it is doubtless 

 worthy of a place in the commercial orchards. As tested at the Geneva Station 

 it has not yet proved very productive. It has made a similar record at the 

 Michigan Station.

 medium in size, narrow, acute, appressed, rather pubescent. Leaves large, 

 broad.
