Remarks: Scions from D.C. Hicks, North Clarendon,VT. 3/20/03
In 1925, it was noted that the blossoms were
a dirty white in color, and petals somewhat lobed.
In 1925, Mr. Brunk called attention to the fact that
fruit from B:6:1, supposedly Acc. No. 1876, Magog, appeared
to be identical with this Jumbo crab. I confirmed this
observation.  Apparently this tree (B:6:1) is a misplant
B:5:1 differs from it and supposedly is Magog.

Characterization:
Some doubt was expressed in each

correctly identified. It was received March 20, 1903
from D. C. Hicks. North Clarendon, VT. Little
if any information is available as to what
Jumbo crab is like. The fruits possess but
very little suggestion of being crabs. As
characterized in 1925 and 1927, the
main features are as follows: (over)
