Remarks: Scions. Pom. NO. 24460 received
in 1902 from I. J. Blackwell.
Titusville, N. J. One painting.
Pom. No. 13340 is on file. No
description.  Hence inadequate
information as to what the variety is
really like.  The painting is of a medium size
yellow apple, nearly if not completely self-colored.
Difficult to reconcile some of the
specimens from Arlington with the apple
that was painted.  The painting shows a curved
<s>Characterization:</s> stem, but does not appear sufficiently
characteristic or striking to justify the name
"Crookstem".

Characterization: Size medium, slightly oblate
ground color yellow, with some blush and
bronzing on exposed side; some buttermilk
overspread, sometimes as stripes and splashes;
a light-bluish bloom. Dots rather numerous,
brownish; flesh white or lightly tinged yellow, fairly
fine grain, firm and not tender up to 11/7/24. when
still rather immature.  Rather sharply acid, at least until
fully mature. (over) (no 2d sheet)
