Remarks: The stock of No. 3219 in the
form of scions supposedly
was received 4/26/02 as
Akin from Charles Miller,
Gerrardstown, W. Va.  In some way
not explained the location according to the
orchard records as reflected in the fruit was
planted to Celestia - No. 3219, which obviously
was incorrect since the Acc. Record shows
the variety as Akin.  The first 2 fruit samples
were labeled Celestia - which they clearly
were not.  The 1922 notation
indicated that the fruit was a small
red, late keeping apple - not recognized.
question naturally arises as to whether it was not
Akin - as it should be.  It clearly was not Celestia
as labeled. Lack of familiarity - with Akin may
have entered the problem.  In 1923, the sample
was identified as "apparently Nero
"unmistakably" Nero in 1924 & 1925 (No 2d sheet)
