Characterization: Notes mostly 11/6/26. Size below medium, -
about 2½ in diameter; roundish, slightly oblate; very
smooth, regular uniform; ground color, yellow nearly
covered with dark red overspread sometimes rather dull
and indistinct striping.  Dots numerous, yellowish
areole, slightly raised, conspicuous; Cavity medium
depth and width, stem 1", very slender; basin rather shallow,
fairly broad; calyx lobes rather large and long, mostly
recurved: eye moderately large varying from open to nearly
closed.  Flesh yellowish, texture rather coarse, fairly
tender, quite juicy,  mildly acid with peculiar characteristic
flavor, while not especially unpleasant this flavor adds
nothing to quality of the apple. Fair to good.
