Characterization:

Sept. 14/26.  Checks in general with Mr. Irwin&apos;s description -
which see.  In gen. appearance in form & size
suggests a light colored winesap.  Med. size or below;
ground color pale yellow, nearly overspread with
bright red wash with faint stripes.  Dots minute,
numerous, inconspicuous.  Commonly slight lipping
in cavity, which is commonly narrow & shallow.  Stem
¼"-½", fleshy.  Flesh tinged with yellow, moderately
fine grained, not very juicy, fairly rich, acid and sugars
so nearly balanced diffcult to say whether sweet or very mildly acid in
flavor.  Pleasant, rather high quality - not flat as is
common in case of nearly neutral apples.  Sept. 11, 1928.  Highly
colored and attractive.  Picking ripe where (over)
