<s>Colonel Dodd of Essex thus describes this apple
It is small, not more than half as large as
the Grannywinkle apple, rather a round flat
fair and smooth apple a flash red, a spice tart.</s>

Grannywinkle

Is a pretty large apple rather more long
than wide.  The skin a dark red, rather rough.
The flesh a dead sweet, very rich and makes
a dark cider as sweet and thick as metheghlin.
The color of the flesh yeallow, the stalk small,
inserted ina very deep hollow.  The apple ripens
about the middle of October. The Grannywinkle
is one of the celebrated Essex cider fruits.
It is ususal there to mix the Harrison apple with
it to fine the liquor.

Colonel Kinney informs me that this is the same
with the Newark Sweeting.  This will account for the mistake
between the Poveshon & Grannywinkle which I suppoed had
been sent to me under the true name by Judge Boudinot. It now
appears probable that the former by mistake has been propagated
under the name of the Grannywinkle, whilst the latter was
progagated as the Newark Sweeting <s>Russeting</s> No 85.
