 size not so large ; the skin light red, streaked 

 and mottled with blotches of darker red ; the 

 flesh white, tender and good. It is in use

The size sometimes large ; the form, 

 oblong ; the skin, when ripe, a bright yellow, 

 with a little red on the side next the sun ; 

 the flesh yellow, breaking and high flavoured, 

 in this respect, approaching to the taste of the 

 Newton pippen more than any other apple. 

 The tree assumes a handsome, spreading 

 form, bears well, and the fruit ripens from 

 December to March.
