Characterization:
Good size a little inclined to lop sidedness, smooth,
Ground color yellowish well overspread with 
bright red and indistinct stripes on well colored fruits;
some buttermilk overspread. Dots moderately
numerous, brownish, fairly conspicuous.
Flesh yellowish, fairly fine grain moderately
juicy, (if overripe rather dry & mealy).  Medium
acid until fully ripe, sprightly, fairly rich, better
than good.  Season August, sometimes extending
well into Sept.  Under favorable conditions
its bright color and beautiful finish make it
a very attractive apple of pleasing quality. (over)
