Characterization: Size varies with season, <s>also shape</s>.
In 1926, small, oblong conic mostly, some fruits
roundish conic; in 1927, size medium and above;
fairly smooth and regular, a little slight ribbing.
Ground color yellowish - some specimens with
light overspread of dull red and a few stripes; others
striped without red wash. Dots scattered, brownish,
minute, very inconspicuous. Flesh lightly
tinged yellow, rather coarse, fairly juicy, distinctly
sweet, fairly rich, pretty good for sweet apple.
When a little overripe, dry and mealy with no
distinctive flavor other than plain sweet.
9/7/26 overripe; 8/17/27 apparently in good maturity.
