Remarks:  Described in An. Rpt of the Pomologist
for 1893, p. 286 - Pub in the An. Rpt of the
Dept. of Agr. for that year.  A seedling of Baldwin
originating with C. W. Babbett, Woodford Co. Ill.

Characterization: Scions from N. Y. Expt. Sta. 1902
1925 - 9/25.  Rather large quite angular,
ribbing distinct; ground color yellow,
pretty well overspread with bright red
making an apple attractive in appearance.
Dots numerous, yellowish, slightly raised,
rather conspicuous. Flesh yellowish,
fairly fine ground, quite tender,
normally juicy, very sour, fairly rich.  Were
it not for its excessive acidity it would
be a very pleasing apple to eat
