Remarks:  Presumed to be correctly named
although very little information is available
as to just what typical fruit of this variety
is like.
Scions from N. Y. Agr. Sta. 1902

Characterization:  Large size,  Fairly regular oblate
conic somewhat suggesting Summer Rambo, Grosh
or Western Beauty before any color develops on any of
them.  Where fully ripe, golden yellow ground color with
broad stripes of red,  some fleckings of buttermilk,
whitish bloom.  Some seasons stripes are pale
red and only on exposed side.  Flesh yellow, fine grain,
tender, juicy, very mildly acid to point of being flat,
though fairly good with no characteristic flavor.

9/27/24 Noted as delicate - an apple of pretty high quality.
This season fruit was picked nearly 3 weeks later than
in any of the other 3 seasons.  Possibly full flavor
develops only when left on tree to maturity.
