1926 - no bloom
<s>1927</s>1928 - 5/1, just beginning to leaf out - no record of any blossoms.

Remarks: Though record above indicates no bloom
in 1924, there must have been a few blossoms
as there is a picking date for that year.
Arlington Acc. record missing. variety probably
received in 1909; or more likely subsequent to that date
Apparently highly, unproductive under Arlington
conditions, at least until the trees attain
considerable age.  No evidence on this point.

Characterization:
1924. Noted as being a good sized apple, oblate,
ground color yellowish green with some red
striping; flesh firm, rather acid. In 1931 it was
referred to as small, oblate, fairly bright red with
indistinct stripes and heavy bloom; finish
unattractive. No apparent value.
