Remarks: 2 trees were received Apr. 1, 1905 from
the Phoenix Nursery Co. Bloomington, Ill.
Apparently (from not on Arlington accession card)
from their novelty cooperative orchard.
In 1923 (fruit label card) note is made of Jour no.
14006 where Dr. Taylor had penciled an impression:
"small green fruit, perhaps Golden
Beauty" whether this Jour. entry refers
to the receipt from Phoenix Nur. Co.
is not clear.

Characterization:
In 1923, fruit was characterized as green, very
greasy; oblong conic, extremely sour and astringent.
In 1925, this was the comment: Distinctly
oblong conic (as it was in 1923 according to
outline sketch made on back of label card). below
medium in size, ground color dull golden
yellow; surface has a very greasy feel.
Terrifically sour and very puckery.
