Remarks: Scions received 4/6/08 from H.C.B. Cahil, Missoula Mont. as Allington
Pippin - no.(?)
Trees in Rows 23 & 24 are different. Tree row
24 is a small crab - like thing - worthless as an
apple. Above picking dates and other notes relate
to Row 23.  identity of which as true Allington
Pippin in none too sure.  #24 seems likely a tree
grown from root stock.  Difficulty
in identification is in part lack
of information regarding response
of Allington Pippin to same conditions here.

Characterization: 
variable, some
seasons not in
accord with
Painting #37734;
others, some spec closely similar.
In general - Size med. or below, conic apex tapering
sharply, smooth, regular except halves sometimes
slightly unequal Ground color yellow, nearly covered
with a thin overspread of bright red.  indistinct
striping, considerable overspread of buttermilk
giving unattractive grayish cast.  Basin and
cavity both shallow.  rather broad - two paints [paintings]
differing from details of Painting 37734.  (over)
