Remarks: Scions received from Geneva, N.Y. 1902
Identity of this variety - remained uncertain to
the end.  Insufficient information as to what
it is like.  In 1923 it was noted that the
specimens agreed fairly well with the description
on file made of specimens of Hurlbut (supposedly) from
C. S. Scott, but not with paintings of
specimen from J. W. Van Deman nor
with Beaches [Beach's] description in Apples of N. Y.

Characterization:
1924 notes
Size, Medium,
roundish -
oblate; ground color yellow covered with wash
of red and indistinct striping. Dots fairly numerous,
large, brownish, areole, conspicuous. More or less
leather cracking; russet in cavity. Flesh white,
fairly fine grain, tender, juicy, sprightly subacid.
fairly rich, but a little too acid. Appears like an
excellent apple. Prime eating condition as to maturity 10/20/24
checks fairly well with description of No. 10161, though dots
are different. Does not check with models of
Hurlbut (supposedly) nor with painting No. 18385.
