          The quality seemed to improve with
passing of time. Seems likely that picked
at proper time and properly handled
this would be a good storage apple
though perhaps acidity would too
largely disappear.

Crop of 1928.  Picked 10/10; stored 10/18.
Out 2/4/29. Exam 2/9/29.  Apparently in
excellent condition. firm and solid.
Flavor is less characteristic and
less pronounced and apple is less
pleasing than it was when it first
came out of storage 2/4 - the 5
days at room temperature being
an adverse condition.
Other spec stored 10/18/28 - out 2/15/29
exam. 2/21/29.  At room temp. 2 days;
rest of time between 2/15 & 2/21 in
office refrigerator.  Except for 
slight shriveling in excellent
physical condition.  Most of specimens
show no wilting. Moderately juicy
mild subacid, fairly rich; pleasant;
good.  Question in the 2/21/29 note
as to whether quality would not
have improved if fruit had remained
continuously in cold storage for 
another month or more.

Probably a pretty good apple!
1921 - Aug. 10 Dr. Roberts reported cedar rust
as occurring on fruit. No other
reference to this disease.
