 Colour, yellow covered with dull red flush and slight 

 russet. Flesh, yellow, firm, rich flavour. Eye, open 

 in a very deep even basin. Stem, very short in a deep 

 cavity. Growth, small ; fertility, good. The latest 

 of all to flower, hence its name, Wise Apple. Leaf, 

 rather small, much upward cupped, sharply serrate.

 valuable sort, its late flowering habit often enabling 

 it to escape early frosts. One of the best for a heavy 

 clay soil.
