Remarks: *In 1923, someone, probably
Mr. Brunk called attention on the 
specimen labels that the fruit from
acc no. 3103, D : 15 : 1 and Acc. No. 3113
appeared to be identical.  I (HPG) confirmed
that observation.  The specimens of
No. 3103 were labeled Sutton.  How that
name happened to enter the records is a mystery
now (2/14/42) - apparently just an unaccountable error.
According to the Arlington Acc. record card, Acc
No. 3103 should be Northern Spy. As a matter of fact
the orchard record shows that tree D : 16 : 1
is Northern Spy Acc. No. 3103, while an examination
of the fruit of tree Row 15 of this pair of trees
showed to be Gravenstein - Seedling of - 
and presumably Acc. No. 3113.  The connection
seems reasonably clear from a review of
the records.  They show that scions of both
this seedling of Gravenstein (Acc. No. 3113) (Pom.
No. 24559) and of Northern Spy (Acc. No. 3103; Pom.
No. 24556) were received on Apr. 7, 1902
