Remarks: Arlington Acc. No. 6321, should
be according to the record Porter - which it
surely is not.  All of the fruit specimens from
Arlington (listed above) were labeled Golden Pippin.
When the name Porter was dropped from the
records is quite uncertain.  Question regarding
correct identity was raised the first year
(1922) and each year thereafter - but with
the conclusion as stated on the cover sheet
herewith that this and the others of this group were
all Lowell if B: 3-4 : 3 (Acc. No. 1872) is correctly
identified. (Pom No. 24290 from Geneva).

Characterization: 1924 notes. Medium size.  Skin
color golden yellow in some cases but most
specimens are greenish yellow (matter of maturity?)
Flesh tender, mildly subacid, rather flat
and of indifferent quality.
