Remarks: see over for source
1925 - Noted that scions to which the Arlington
trees probably trace were recorded as Jour. No.
50536 with a question mark following the
entry.  While this is a sweet variety, there is an
implied question as to whether the variety is
in fact Connett Sweet.  Identity of that variety is
somewhat in doubt.  In 1924 it was recorded that
this apple would doubtless appeal fairly
strongly to one fond of sweet apples (see over)

Characterization:
Size medium to large, oblate conic, regular sometimes
ribbed. Ground color yellow, well overspread
with bright red and indistinct stripes; light whitish bloom.
Dots some seasons (1925) are raised pimples similar to
Twenty ounce, but in 1926 it was observed that "pimples"
would pass unnoticed were it not for the 1925 notes
Cavity & basin both deep and broad.
Flesh tinged yellow distinctly satiny, grain rather
coarse, considerably body to flesh, a little lacking 
in juice, fairly rich, very sweet when well
developed and fully mature.  (no 2d sheet)
