Scions from
Va Expt Sta
3 - 21- 11 through
Dr D. N. Shoemaker

Remarks: * In 1925 the fruit sample was
picked up from the ground.
**In one of the orchard record books
Dr. Caldwell indicated this was Moulin-
a-varet (OK)   The characterizations of the 2
things rather supports this view.

Characterization: 1925 notes. Good size for a crab.
Regular, oblate. ground color pale yellow with
little if any red on surface, but surface marked
with many short dark colored cracks, and many
small infections of bitter rot or some other disease.
Very unattractive. Flesh yellowish, rather coarse,
difficulty lacking in juice, sweet, somewhat
astringent, lacks richness. Because of lack of juice
value as a crab (or on any other basis) seems lacking.
