Remarks: This is S.P.I. No. 6736. Pom. No. 28452
Received as Cliff's Seedling (see over)
1926.  Picking was overlooked till November.  Then
nothing received but partially decayed fruits under
trees.  Apparently developed well with indications
of its usual fineness of texture and richness of flavor
This apple apparently should have been given
more attention than it received.

Characterization:
Good size, fairly regular;
roundish to slightly elongated sometimes slightly conic,
Ground color rich yellow, mostly overspread with
thin red and darker stripes of red (attractive). Dots rather
few, raised, brownish.  rather conspicuous.
Cavity medium, stem ⅝" slender; Basin rather shallow,
broad; calyx lobes fairly large, converging, but eye
mostly open, large; Flesh yellowish fine ground,
tender, juicy, sprightly subacid, fairly rich,
good to very good in quality.
For its season - mid-Sept - this apple
has merit. apparently. Should have been followed up.
