Description. —Fruit: large, three inches and a half broad, and three inches high ; roundish 
and a little flattened, irregular in its outline, having prominent angles on the sides, which extend 
from the base to the apex. Skin : smooth, of a deep yellow ground colour, which is almost entirely 
covered with pale red, and streaked with broad stripes of dark crimson. Eye : closed, with long 
acuminate segments, set in a narrow angular basin. Stalk : an inch long, slender, deeply inserted 
in a round and russety cavity. Flesh : white, tender, juicy, and pleasantly flavoured. 
A large handsome Apple, but its culinary properties are only second rate. It is in season 
during November and December. 
The tree is large, grows freely, and bears well.
