Remarks: Doubt was expressed, or previous expression
confirmed practically every season as to the fruit
being Hershcal Cox because of discrepancies
between it description and painting on file
of that variety.  The trees planted according to
records were received 3/31/05 from Kelly & Sons
Jefferson, Ala. Apparently a Southern variety.
The specimens were sweet as is Herschal Cox - but
in most other respects the apple sees to be at variance
with illustrations on file. The fruit in shape & size
was variously compared with a small Winesap & Shockley.

Characterization: Size usually small, sometimes up
to medium; smooth, regular, sharply conic - much drawn
in at apex; ground color yellow nearly covered with a
red wash and indistinct stripes; a grayish over-color
varying from slight to fairly heavy on one
side the fruit, or a light flecking of gray. Dots
moderately numerous, some yellowish and submerged
(over)
