 Beauty (12). Mackie's Clyde Beauty (2, 3, 4, n). 



A large, late fall apple. So far as we can learn it is now but little grown 

 in this state. Lyon reports that in Michigan the tree is vigorous, upright,

Historical. This is a late autumn variety which originated with Mr. Mackie,

 with carmine becoming bright red on the exposed side. 



Core large and open. Seeds small, brown. Flesh white, often tender, juicy, 

 sprightly, pleasant subacid, good to very good.
