Remarks: Identity of this apple was never
definitely determined.  Main difficulty is
in knowing just what Camak is like.
Specimens from Arlington do not check well
with paintings on file of Camak, but they
meet - or did some seasons - my concept of Camak
better than the paintings do except the flavor
could hardly be termed sweet, which Camak is supposed
to be.

Characterization:
Composite of several seasons.
Size, medium or below, smooth, regular except
indistinct ribbing. somwhate oblate.
Ground color yellow, a little red of bronze blush
about base on some fruits.  Dots vary from minute
yellowish, depressed, to brownish few and scattered.
Flesh yellowish, fairly fine grain, considerable
body to flesh, fairly tender, average juice, fairly
rich, pleasant.  Very mildly acid, but on 10/3/25
it was noted as approaching sweet.  Description
in B.P.I. Bul 56 gives "brisk pleasant sweet" Question
now (12/12/41) comes as to whether reference in  (over)
