This apple has been regarded as a standard fruit, and worthy of cultivation. It is allied 
very close to the Spitzenburg family. An apple known by some as the Hubbardston Non¬ 
such, is a wide depressed fruit, but which in other respects is related to it, and can scarcely 
be distinguished by its taste and flavor.

Fruit of the medium size; depressed, 
circular; widest in the middle; 
ends equal. Color a dark crim¬ 
son, darkest on the sunny side, 
even blackish. Skin smooth, with 
a few yellowish dots; the yellow 
appears through the dark stripes. 
Stem equaling the base ; slender. 
Calyx large, depression shallow, 
obsoletely plaited. Flesh fine¬ 
grained, subacid, agreeable, but 
not juicy. It does not rank higher 
than second rate, yet is very fine 
when in its best state.
