apple with a light overspread of red. good to very
good in quality. The characterization summarized
below from 1926 notes indicates a number
of points in common with Herefordshire as
<s>Characterization:</s> described in Apples of New York, and which
is apparently Herefordshire Beefing of the English.

Characterization:
Size medium, fairly regular, more or less ribbed;
ground color greenish yellow, probably losing the 
green shade as full maturity is reached; pretty well
covered with a wash of bright and with considerable
striping. Dots variable, mostly yellowish, some
areole, rather small, not very conspicuous,
though some are larger and raised. A thin
overspread of gray at base of some fruits
Flesh yellowish, medium grain, lacking in juice,
fairly tender, mild subacid, moderately rich,
pleasant, fairly good.
