Remarks:  The same question was
raised each year regarding the
identity of this variety. Same
is true also regarding No. 6310.
No evidence in notes (nor do I recall)
that fruit of these 2 numbers was ever
compared with Baxter to be sure what it is like,
and paintings do not help very much. It may be that
too much importance was placed on red staining
of flesh.  Beach says (Apples of N. Y. Vol. 1 pp 64-66) "flesh
yellowish, sometimes stained" - Apparently often not stained.

Characterization:  Scions No. 1806 from N. Y. Sta 1902
1925-  9/26.  Fair size, slightly oblate conic
ground color yellowish, nearly all overspread
with thin wash of dull red with indistinct
striping.  Dots large, brownish, areole, can-
specimens.  Flesh yellowish, tender very mildly
acid, not very juicy; pleasant though rather
flat.  No suggestion of red staining in flesh.

Further noted that according to Jour.
Entry 31296 there was no definite information
as to what this variety - really is.
