Remarks: This variety is designated Jewett in the
Acc. records. Received from J. E. Bennoch, Orono, Maine.
Presumably it was Jewett Red - not Jewett of Vt. origin
although there were striking discrepencies between
specimens from Arlington and the paintings on file
and my conception of the variety. However it was
assumed that the variety was Jewett Red and the discrepencies
due to place affect. Distinctly a northern 
apple and not adapted to conditions as
far south as Washington.

Characterization:
In 1924 it
was noted that
fruit checked
fairly well
with paintings of Jewett Red, including color, dots,
texture, core formation etc. It had a overspread of
gray and was lacking in the characteristic flavor
of that variety. Same was true in 1926 but in that
year there were discrepancies in the dots, typically they
are minute and inconspicuous. The specimens have
brownish dots, mostly areole and large and conspicuous.
Flesh yellowish, fairly fine grain, fairly juicy,
very mild almost to the point of being (over)
