An attractive little apple, deep red over yellow, tender, brisk 

 subacid, very good. The tree is a moderate grower, a pretty reli- 

 able bearer, and commonly yields good crops. Some find it profit- 

 able because it is handsome and takes well in some markets. The 

 crop ripens so unevenly that it should have two or three pickings 

 in order to secure the fruit in good condition. The variety is more 

 popular South and West than it is in New York 



Historical. This is a southern apple which is supposed to have originated 

 in North Carolina. It has long been known in cultivation and is commonly 

 listed by nurserymen, but it has not been planted to any considerable extent 

 in New York.
