Historical. The exact place of origin cf this apple seems doubtful. In 

 1804 Please stated, It originated on the farm of 3.1r. Crooks, near Red Hook 

 in New York " (i). Thirteen A-ears later Coxe credited it with a Long Island 

 origin (3). All that can be stated with certainty is that it is an old variety 

 known in parts of Eastern Xew York. X'ew Jersey and Pennsylvania in the 

 beginning of the last century.
