Blossom dates:
1924 - 5/2, 75% buds open; 5/6,petals mosly off - light bloom
1925 - 4/15, still some buds, petals falling
1926 - 5/3, past full bloom.
1927 - 4/12, 10% buds open
1928 - 4/20, first bloom; 4/26, 35% buds open; 5/2 past full.

Remarks:
* Probably picked much too early.
** A suggestion on specimen label that this lot was
Reine de Pommes through mistake in giving orchard
location but nothing apparent to confirm this
other than the unusual practice of sending 2 samples
of same thing on 2 different dates. Early picking of fruit
sample might explain it in this case.

Characterization:
Size variable in different seasons; usually small (on
apple size standard) but in 1927 averaged 2¾" in diameter.
Roundish slightly oblate, sometimes slightly conic,
regular. Ground color yellowish in varying shades;
sometimes slight suggestion of red stripes; sometimes
slight red blush. Light pencils of buttermilk radiating
from cavity. Some seasons considerable transverse
leather cracking. Dots variable, mostly large brown
conspicuous, sometimes russet, raised. Cavity
medium depth, rather narrow some cases very narrow,
basin wide, mediudm depth, abrupt; sepals long,
thick reflexed; eye medium, partially closed.
Flesh tinged yellow, fairly fine grain, rather tough
