Remarks: Doubt was repeatedly expressed
as to the correctness of identity
- largely because of insufficient
information as to what
Catline is really like.  Paintings
& other data on file aren't much help
in settling the questions.  This No. 3009 was
received as scions from S. H. Derby, Woodside
Del.  Acc. No. 7193, also Catline, supposedly,
was not assuredly the same as this variety - source
of #7193 not now readily determinable. because
Arlington card for it is missing from file.

Characterization:
Size small to medium, roundish conic. Ground
color yellow, nearly covered with bright red and striped.
Dots not numerous, whitish, inconspicuous; eye very
small. Flesh tinged yellow, fairly fine grain,
fairly juicy, mildly acid, pleasant, fairly good
but not characteristic in any way.  While fairly
attractive, it is too small to be of value in the
absence of outstanding points of merit.  Doubt
noted in 1924 as to whether it was same as #7193.
Most outstanding difference between this apple and the
paintings is in the calyx tube, paintings showing long
cylinderical [cylindrical] tubes, while these fruits show practically none.
