Remarks: The identity of this apple was
never satisfactorily cleared up.
It was received as Grosh. In time
of picking it is closely with
Summer Rambo, rather than with
Western Beauty as we know it and with
which it should check if Grosh and Western Beauty
are identical.
Scions from W. N. Irwin 4/21/11 - probably from
his private collection in Eckington.

Characterization: 1925 notes. Fairly large, uniform,
regular, oblate. Ground color when fully ripe.
yellowish with more or less light overspread of
red with indistinct striping. Many specimens
however, whow only a slight suggestion of color.
Dots numerous but varying in different specimens.
The conspicuous ones are large, irregular and
amount to almost to small eruptions in the skin
or very slight cracks. In specimens still a little
immature, there are many light colored submerged
dots about the apex, these are large inconspicuous. There
is a heavy overspread of whitish bloom. Flesh yellowish,
fine grain, a little tough. Moderately juicy, subacid,
no characteristic flavor, but fairly good. In general
form and appearance it suggests Summer Rambo,
but lacks the red markings commonly characterizing (over)
