A seedling of Indiana. Brought into notice by Lewis 

 Jones, of Wayne County, who has frequently exhibited 

 the fruit, and distributed grafts of this excellent apple, 

 which may compensate for the failure of its reputed parent, 

 the Ortley. 



Fruit large, oblong, conic or ovate, often angular or 

 ribbed ; Surface smooth, pale yellow, rarely blushed ; 

 Dots scattered, dark. 



Basin shallow, often abrupt, folded or plaited; Eye 

 small, closed.
