Remarks: The specimens in [illegible] various
seasons were labeled 
Mammouth. This is doubtless
due to a misreading of the records.
In the Acc. record the name
is clearly Monmouth- scions from
Geneva (Beach) in 1902.  See Apples
of N.Y. Vol. 1. In 1903 the specimens
were believed to be Ohio Pippin. In 1924
possibilities of this were discussed in comparison
with paintings on file of Ohio Pippin
Later proper designation as Monmouth
was pointed out. Rhode Island Greening type.

Characterization:

mild subacid, fairly rich, pretty good 11/7/24
