This variety of the Keswick Codlin group is considered by some one of 

 the best apples of the group. The fruit is suitable for cooking as early as 

 the middle of July and remains in use till September. It is large, roundish, 

 varying from oblate to somewhat oblong; green, marked with clear light 

 russet flecks and dots ; calyx closed ; basin ridged, shallow ; stem short ; 

 cavity moderately wide, shallow ; core large, abaxile ; cells open ; flesh white, 

 rather fine, moderately juicy, subacid, good for culinary use. The tree is 

 very productive, which perhaps accounts in part for its being short-lived. 

 As grown at this Station it has blighted so badly as to make it an unde- 

 sirable variety for the orchard.

A striped red apple of fairly good quality in season in early August. The 

 tree is a good grower, comes into bearing rather young and is a reliable 

 biennial cropper. It was originated from seed of Oldenburg by Peter M. 

 Gideon, Excelsior, Minn., from whom it was received in 1888 for testing at 

 this Station. It is not valuable for planting in New York.
