for cooking, or for drying. Somewhat like the Stone Pippin when 
on the tree but of better quality when kept. Waxy yellow like the

two to three weeks later. Fruit roundish, conical, even surface, 
large, stalk medium, slender, inserted in deep cavity often 
russetted; calyx medium, closed set in a rather wide, slightly 
furrowed basin, core small, closed; flesh white, coarse, sub-acid,

strong and sappy growth.

fruit hangs well.
