Solebury Cider Apple (from William
<s>Mitchell</s> near [illegible])  Mitchells or Howells
ferry in Bucks County Pennsylvania

grafted April 
1809 on 3 large
trees on Rosanna
farm on Rambo
Stock

A handsome red streaked Apple,
very great bearers
and of superior merit for Cider, at the same time
a pleasant eating Apple - of very high reputation
for profit and flavored liquor, ripe in November.
The size and appearance as well as the taste of the apple are
a good deal like the Vandevere.  The tree is of an upright growth
handsome and thrifty.
