Remarks: 1928 - Noted that fruit picked entirely
too early - a few spec show a little color
but most of them are entirely green.

1922.  Sample labeled Banana; identified as
suggesting Bietigheimer but considered a better apple
than that variety.  Subsequently spec. labeled Bietigheimer
no check-up on No. 6650 in original sources made.
<s>Characterization:</s> if this no. is Bietigheimer sample in 1922
probably labeled Banana by mistake.
Further doubt expressed in 1926 as to identity but in
1927 it was decided the apple was undoubtedly this variety.

Characterization:  Mostly 1927 notes.  Size large to very
large;  oblate, smaller fruits roundish to oblate.  Ground
color greenish till fully ripe, then yellowish. Pinkish
red blush an exposed side when well colored, color
sometimes showing as stripes.  Dots numerous, variable,
whitish, depressed, some brownish, not very conspicuous.
Cavity rather large and deep abrupt; stem ¾" medium
stout basin medium depth. rather broad; calyx
lobes larger, rather long, somewhat reflexed, (over)
