Fruit of good medium size, quite attractive for a yellow apple, 

 mild in flavor and of good quality. Season late September or 

 October to January ; October appears to be its commercial limit in 

 this latitude (7). The tree attains good size, is rather vigorous and 

 healthy, comes into bearing rather young and is a reliable cropper, 

 being almost an annual bearer and often yielding full crops. 



Historical. This variety is supposed to have originated in Dayton, Ohio 

 (i, 2). It has been disseminated pretty widely in the Middle West but it 

 is scarcely known among New York fruit growers. 



TREE. 



Tree rather vigorous. Form open, somewhat roundish or spreading and 

 inclined to droop. Twigs short, straight, stout; internodes short. Bark 

 dark dull brown, lightly streaked with scarf-skin, slightly pubescent near 

 tips. Lenticels scattering, medium to below, oblong, not raised. Buds 

 very deeply set in the bark, medium size, flat, obtuse, appressed, slightly 

 pubescent. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit above medium to medium. Form oblate conic to roundish oblate, 

 rather irregular in shape being often somewhat elliptical or obscurely ribbed. 

 Stem short, slender, usually not exserted. Cavity rather large, acute or 

 slightly acuminate, varying sometimes to rather obtuse, deep, broad, often 

 furrowed, sometimes lipped, sometimes russeted and with outspreading russet 

 rays. Calyx medium to large, open; lobes reflexed, rather broad, obtuse, 

 separated at the base. Basin small and shallow to rather broad, deep and 

 abrupt, sometimes compressed, wrinkled.
