Remarks: Pom. No. 24280. Scions received
from Pro. Beach. Geneva, N. Y. in 1902.
Acc. No. 1862 is recorded as Iowa Beauty
and planting record corresponds thereto.
Presumably a mistake was made in handling
the stock prior to planting. Noted as incorrect
in each of the above 5 years for which
there are fruit records.

Characterization:
Size medium and above;
fairly regular; roundish to
slightly oblate. Ground color greenish white, sometimes
yellowish with green tinge (self-colored); fairly
heavy overspread of buttermilk about base;
heavy whitish bloom; a few dark colored dots
that are really minute breaks in skin; other light
colored dots are submerged; cavity heavily russeted;
flesh tinged yellow, rather coarse grain, fairly
tender, medium juicy, mild subacid, pleasant - a
pretty good eating apple. In 1925, seemed to have very
short period of durability, especially if slightly injured
this not apparent in 1926. Seemingly of greater merit
