Remarks: Scions from which these trees
supposedly were progagated
were received 2/4/03 from
Manhattan, Ks. as Cooper
Early White (Acc. No. 4199)
No question was recorded in
regard to correct identity of lots picked on
the Aug. dates. No notes of significance were
made on these specimens, except the lot picked
8/13/26. on 9/19 fruit presumably held in office since
8/13 was still tender, juicy, acidity too sharp for eating
out of hand but rather delicate, pleasant acid
other than to being too pronounced.

Characerization:
The identity of both of the Oct. picked lots was
questioned. Pom. No. 108301 was characterized
on Oct. 21 as mediudm size, yellow, some
fruits showing a coppery blush; oblong conic to
roundish conic; dots bariable, scattered, brownish;
Apex characterized as being yellow Bellflower in form.
Flesh yellowish, fine grain, tender juicy, mildly
acid. fairly rich, pretty good but past season now.
At present(1/6/42) this characterization of flesh is not
far wrong for Early Cooper, except lateness of date, but
at time of examination I apparently definitely (over)
