 wide, and three inches high ; roundish and flattened, with angles on 

 the sides. Skin, bright yellow, with a bright red blush on the side 

 exposed to the sun.- Eye, open, with short erect segments, inserted in 

 a contracted and angular basin. Stalk, very short, inserted in a russety 

 cavity. Flesh, tender, juicy, and with an agreeable acidity. 



A first-rate early culinary apple, ripe in the end of August, and in 

 use dming September. The great size and excellent quality of this 

 fine early apple ought to commend it as a good orchard fruit for the 

 supply of the markets. 



I had this sent me by Mr. Richard Smith, of Worcester, when it was known to 

 me for the first time in September, 1872.
