A little dessert apple. Thomas rated it better in quality for the table than 

 Early Harvest but less productive and too small for general value (11). The 

 tree is a moderately vigorous or slow^ grower but is hardy, comes into bearing 

 young and is productive. Suitable for culinary use in July, ripe in August. 



Historical. This is an old New Jersey apple which Coxe described as of 

 singular beauty and excellent for both eating and stewing; the size is mod- 

 erate, the form flat, the skin smooth, of a beautiful yellow resembling wax, 

 blended with red in streaks and blotches (2). It is still occasionally listed 

 by nurserymen (26) but is now seldom or never planted in New York. 



Fruit (8, 11, 16, 20, 23, 30). 



Fruit small to nearly medium. Form roundish, somewhat oblate. Stem 

 rather short to medium, varying from stout to slender. Cavity shallow, 

 acute, regular. Calyx small, closed or partly open. Basin regular, wide, 

 abrupt, slightly furrowed. 



Skin smooth, waxen, very pale yellow, striped and splashed distinctly with 

 bright red and carmine on the exposed cheek. Dots minute. 



Core medium to large ; cells closed ; core lines meeting. Seeds ovate, nu- 

 merous, short, plump. 



Flesh white, fine-grained, crisp, very tender, sprightly, juicy, subacid, agree- 

 able but not rich, suitable for either culinary or dessert use.
