flat than long. The skin of a pale
yellowish white with red next the
Sun, the flesh is sprightly and
tender, The tree is strong and vigorous.
The fruit is much used for Culinary
purposes, and like the Vandevere
ripens in the fall so as to make pretty
good Cider, although it does not
rank among the first Cider fruits.
General Robinson says "It is a good bearer and
"bears fruit every year, is excellent for cooking, & a
"good eating apple, but not good for Cider-- It is
"a fall fruit " -- The leaves have
uniformly a light or yellow green cast in whatever
soil the may be planted.
