 rather long, slender in a shallow russet cavity. Growth, 

 good ; fertility good. Leaf, large, round oblong, 

 little undulating, upfolded, boldly doubly crenate. 

 Origin, introduced by Messrs. Seabrook & Sons, in 1918. 

 I have not been able to test this apple sufficiently to pass 

 an opinion on it and am indebted to the introducers
