Characterization:Size varies considerably from medium and
above some seasons to rather small in others; oblate,
indistinctly ribbed; some fruits show indistinctly
a triangular form in cross section. Ground color
greenish white - self colored, no red - Dots yellowish and
whitish, submerged, inconspicuous; a little russeting
in cavity in some specimens.  In 1926 in many fruits
there was what appeared to be characteristic concentric
russet cracks about the apex; these were absent in
1927.  No later reference to them. Flesh slightly tinged yellow,
tender juicy; in 1926 noted as mild subacid,fairly
rich, a very pleasant eating apple, but in 1927 and in 1928
acidity seemed rather pronounced and in 1928 it lacked
the rather pleasing eating quality noted in 1926 (over)
