Remarks: to be considered in connection with
so called Golden Pippin. Acc. No. 4307 (E:19-20:4)
No. 4308 (E:19-20:5) and No. 6321 (G:9-10:3). Question
was raised under these numbers as to correct identity,
with conclusion that it Lowell (above) was correctly named
then all of these lots were probably Lowell. In 1922
the specimens of Acc. No. 1872 were considered as incorrect
but in other years they were assumed to be
properly identified (as likely they were in 1922)
though not checking in all particulars
with painting(s) on file.  In 1927 it
was stated on the Lowell card that Golden
Pippin appeared to be a later apple
than Lowell - but this view is not
supported by picking dates for above
named lots of so called Golden Pippin.
If they were all Lowell as suggested above (or identical with
No. 1872) picking dates would of course 
be about the same.
