Maidens Blush Apple

This is an apple of great beauty when ripe. Exhibiting
a beautiful contrast of yellow and red. The fruit is very
pleasant as a table apple, the tree remarkably handsome
and vigorous in its growth and very productive.
In perfection in August and September. It is a large
Apple rather flat, skin singularly smooth and of a wax like
appearance & a delicate yellow with a beautiful blush towards
the sun, flesh very white and delicate, full of
very sprightly juice, breaking and tender, stalk short
and inserted in a deep cavity, as in the eye.
The name was given by Samuel
Allenson deceased as I
have been told by his son
William.
