Remarks: This apple was first observed so far
as the Dept was concerned by Mr. Irwin in an
apple exhibit from Cotter, Ark. at the
St. Louis Exposition in 1904(?).  It was
probably the next season that I went to [illegible], located
the man who had assembled the exhibit of apples
from that locality, and with his
help found trees if this or very closely
similar varieties in several places.

Characterization:
Size variable but in general above medium to fairly large
roundish conic to slightly oblate conic, sometimes
slightly ribbed,  sometimes halves unequal; ground
color yellow when fully ripe.  well overspread with rather
thin wash of bright red, indistinct striping; (Many seasons 
now well colored). Dots many, brownish, some raised,
some areolar. not conspicuous. Cavity fairly deep
medium width; stem ½" slender to fairly stout.  Basin
medium, calyx lobes rather long, converging; eye
medium size, usually closed, sometimes partially open.
