Second sheet, Variety Granny Smith

Storage notes: 1926 crop Picked 11/1. In office refrigerator
till examined 2/24/27. Kept remarkably well,
considering conditions under which held. A
little shriveling of skin otherwise in excellent condition.
Ground color developed to a rather rich yellow,
fairly fine grain, crisp breaking, juicy, mild
subacid, pleasant but only fairly good in
quality. Crispness of texture and abundant juice
give it a refreshing effect even though not of
high quality.  Though flesh for most part is in
good condition there is a little browning within the core lines. - (over)
