Remarks:
1925 - reference is made to H: 24 : 3 for notes. Characterization
below is substantially that for this lot (acc. no. 6438)
In 1927, No. 6366 & 6419 were good size & comparable with each other but
very poorly colored.
Apparently Baldwin by identification. what McKee
should be like seems uncertain (over)

Characterization:
Based mostly on 1925 notes on Acc. No. 6419 to which 6366 was
referred:
Good size for the var. Roundish, fairly regular.
ground color yellow, nearly covered with heavy wash of
bright red, buttermilk flecks & overspread on some spec.
whitish bloom.  some russet markings maybe spray
injury.  Dots. Many, both depressed & raised. Former
are inconspicuous, latter yellowish & conspicuous.
Flesh. Yellowish, fairly fine grain, mod. tender, quite
juicy, mildly acid when in prime eating condtion. 
These spec. when fully ripe, especially high quality for the
variety.  Baldwin twang, subdued, acidity toned down
making a really pretty good apple.  These spec. more nearly
typical of Northern grown Baldwin than is ususal here  (over)
