Characterization: Notes on (b) Acc. No. 4304
Sept. 1, 1925. Typical of variety in this section. Peculiar
McIntosh flavor rather highly developed. External
color fairly well developed; juicy but flesh a little
tough; heavy bloom. If fruits remain long enough on
tree they would probably develop full typical color;
Wormy fruits that drop prematurely are well colored
Sept. 1, 1926. Fine grain, juicy, not noticeably tough as stated
for 1925, but still not quite typically tender.
Sept. 24, 1927. Exceptionally fine for Arlington McIntosh.
good size, smooth, regular, well colored with characteristic
purplish cast and indistinct striping.
Dots yellowish; dots yellowish, numerous (over)
