The origin of this valuable Apple is not given by any of the leading pomologists. 
Description .—Fruit : medium sized, two inches and three-quarters broad, and about three 
inches high ; roundish, inclining to ovate, being narrowed towards the eye. Skin : smooth and 
tender, of a beautiful grassy green in the shade, and dullish brown red, marked with a few broken 
stripes of a darker colour, on the side exposed to the sun. Eye : small and closed, with long 
segments, set in a narrow, round, deep, and even basin. Stalk : three-quarters of an inch long, 
inserted in a narrow and deep cavity. Flesh : greenish white, tender, crisp and very juicy, with a 
brisk and somewhat vinous flavour. 
An excellent culinary Apple of first quality, in season from November to April, “ keeping 
well until the rhubarb comes into season.” 
The tree is very strong and vigorous. It attains a large size and bears abundantly.
