White French Winter Calville - Apple

The White Calville is esteemed in France as
one of their finest table fruits.  The skin is smooth
of a pale yellow, sometimes towards the Sun taking
a little red, the flesh is white, tender
light and granulated, the juice lively without
acidity. The axis of the fruit is hollow, surrounded
by five large seminal lodges, resembling when
cut transversely the figure of a Star. When ripe
which is from December to March, the seeds
may be heard when rattled.  The size is large
rather flat, the stalk is small and of midling
length, planted in a hollow about as deep as its
length,  the eye is small. The tree is handsome
vigorous and fruitful.
