A large yellowish-green apple with faint blush of orange-red, 

 very good in quality ; season early winter. The tree is a rather 

 slow grower, but eventually forms a regular, compact head and is 

 quite productive. Desirable for the home orchard (i, 7.) 



Historical. The earliest description of this variety which we find is that 

 given by Coxe (i) who remarks that it is a native of one of the eastern 

 states. Downing states that it originated in the garden of William Prince, 

 Flushing, N. Y. (7). It is now seldom found in cultivation in New York. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit large. Form roundish conic or a little inclined to oblate conic, 

 ribbed. Stem short to medium, thick. Cavity large, acute to somewhat 

 acuminate, deep, broad, more or less marked with faint greenish-russet. 

 Calyx moderately large, closed or slightly open. Basin deep, rather wide, 

 abrupt, furrowed and wrinkled. 



Skin moderately thick, tough, greenish-yellow or yellow with faint orange- 

 red blush. Dots variable, large and small, often irregular, areolar with 

 russet center or whitish and submerged.
