Remarks: An English variety. In 1923 it was 
noted that Golden Noble as we have it is very
close to if not identical with Lodington which
is located at H: 25-26 : 5. Acc No. 6589
(should apparently be spelled Loddington.)

Characterization: Medium to large in size; roundish
conic to oblate conic; smooth regular.
Skin color yellow - self colored, but considerable
buttermilk overspread.  Dots variable, sometimes
whitish, submerged, inconspicuous; some irregular
brownish and conspicuous, Cavity medium depth
fairly broad, some russeting; stem ½", rather slender.
Basin very shallow, similar to winter Banana.
Flesh yellowish, texture inclined to be a little coarse.
rather lacking in juice, inclined to mealiness, tender,
subacid - too sharp for eating out of hand, might be
OK for cooking; not a dessert apple, at its best development
an attractive yellow apple.
