          from J. E. [Bennoch], Orono, Maine.

The mixing of trees of Acc. Nos. 3103 and
3113 the scions of which came from the same sour[ce]
is not difficult to explain, but as
already stated, the introduction of
the name Sultan for specimens of
Acc. No. 3103 is not explainable.

Characterization of Gravenstein - Seedling
Size fairly good, roundish some
specimens slighty conic, regular,
smooth except very indistinct ribbing
sometimes. Ground color, yellow, near[ly]
covered with bright red stripes, merging
into nearly a solid red in some places.
general make-up it is suggestive of
Gravenstein but the coloring tend[s]
to a more nearly solid red.  Cavity
rather narrow, stem very short; base
medium; flesh yellowish, fine
grain, tender, noted as rather dry in
1925 but in 1927 as "juicy, mild
subacid, pleasant fairly good
but not up to Gravenstein at its best
by considerable."  In 1925, it was
regarded as not of value so far as
the fruit was concerned.
