Remarks: Scions from N.Y. Expt. Sta. 1902
Illustrated and deserved in Apples
of New York. Discrepencies between that
description and characterization below raise
a question as to correctness of identity of these fruits.

Characterization: Painting of variety made in 1922
shows the form as oblate.  1926 characterization
indicates roundish or roundish conic. Medium
size or below; surface smooth with a distinct
greasy feel, regular; a thin white bloom.
Flesh yellowish, a little coarse, fairly tender;
juicy; rather sharply acid with a somewhat
astringent flavor; not pleasant for eating
out of hand.  Pretty acid even for cooking.
No room for such an apple.
Painting above mentioned shows color markings well.
