Remarks: The identity of this apple
is in doubt.  Each year spec.
were received from Arlington
except 1924 the label was marked
"incorrect" because the fruit
was acid - which it now seems may have
been due to the fact that the final flavor
had not developed at time of examinatiotn.
The 1924 tag bears this notation:
"This apple [spec in question] does not check with painting
of Broadwll (Jour No. 18805) from Dr. J. M. Cox,
New Salem, Ohio.  Scions of this apple [Broadwell
Sweet in question]  were received from Manhattan, Kans.
The apple from Dr. Cox was received as Morton Sweet
and according to a journal entry it was apparently
relabeled Broadwell because the spec. seemed to
agree with Downings description of that variety.
[Hence it may not have been Broadwell of Downing;
chances are it was not].  Our 1924 observation
goes on to say. "There is no particular reason for
thinking it is not the thing sent from Kansas
as Broadwell Sweet.  In form and external markings
it is quite suggestive of Cornell Fancy.  However
the ground color is a deeper yellow, and the dots
