Scriveners Red

1815  [sketch of apple]

This is a handsome and fair fruit of a 
bright red with faint streaks and small white
spots, very much resembling the Winesop.
The stalk is rather long and deeply planted.
The form oblong, diminishing towards the crown.
The flesh juicy crisp and well flavored. Cultivated
by Mr James Parker, Head of Chester Maryland.
Sent to me by Dr James Mease - ripens in October
keeps well and is a much admired Cider fruit.
