Scions from W. N. Irwin. 3/27/08 from his private collection, Eckington (see over)
It is presumed the identity is OK but variety not
known. Notes in 1926 state chances are that it is the
same as Jour of Receipts No. 12561 received from Prof Heiges
of which the name Clark was later changed to Sisson.
Mr. Irwin called attention to resemblance (presumably
exterior) of this apple to Belmont.

Characterization:
Good size; roundish conic to slightly oblate
conic; indistinct ribbing. Skin color
yellowish green, sometimes slight blushing and
a little buttermilk effect.  Dots, few brownish
rather conspicuous - others very minute and almost
imperceptible under skin (submerged). Cavity
medium; stem 1" slender; basin medium,
callyx lobes moderatelly large, converging; eye closed.
Flesh white, fine grain, tender sharply acid
till very ripe (note of 1926) and then too sour for eating.
(1927 note (9/20) says fully eating ripe after holding in
office 2 weeks.  Acidity - of 1926 not in evidence. only fair
in quality - Probably picked too immature.  Not much
to commend it.
