Remarks:
1923 - 10/2 - Noted that the core is no
larger than that of Berry Red - which
has been regarded as having an
exceptionally small core.
This apple is too small to be of value
in the absence of some
conspicuously good quality.

Characterization:
Size small, average no larger than [illegible];
regular, quite uniform, somewhat oblate.
Ground color yellowish, nearly all overspread
with light wash of dull red, with more or
less striping. Dots moderately numerous, mostly
yellowish depressed indistinct, a few larger,
raised light brown. Flesh tender, fine grain, 
juice average; pleasant but not rich,some
seasons flavor somewhat distinctive; others not.
