Remarks: This No. and Acc. No. 1868 both received
from Geneva, the former in 1902, the latter 
in 1903.  See remarks under Acc. No. 1868.
for other details.
Considering season, keeping qualities etc,
it seems very doubtful if this is Lady Sweet.

Apples of New York.

Characterization:
1926 notes-
mostly:
Good size, roundish somewhat irregular
indistinctly ribbed. Some specimens slightly
compressed, halves a little unequal. Ground
color yellow, fairly heavily washed and striped
with bright red over about ½ the surface. A whitish
bloom gives the apple a rather dull cast; a 
suggestion of fine buttermilk flecking. Dots
variable but mostly minute and inconspicuous,
Flesh yellowish, a little coarse grain, fairly
tender, a little lacking in juice, (over)
