difficult to separate merely on appearance.

See Apples of New York Vol 2.

Characterization:
Good size, somewhat oblate, slightly conic, smooth,
regular, nearly uniform; Ground color yellowish-
green, Mostly self-colored but some specimens show
very slight thin red overspread. and very indistinct
striping; a little bronzing in some spec. Dots
rather numerous about apex, less so about base, mostly
white and very inconspicuous, a few small, brown dots.
Some russeting in cavity.  Flesh faintly tinged yellow,
grain rather course, quite tender, juicy, fairly acid
but rather pleasant for an apple as sour as it is.
Probably would cook well but not better than fair to good
in quality.
