Remarks: Scions from Benj. Buckman, Farmingdale, Ill 1902
As this variety developed at Arlington it
was apparently not typical as a rule of the
apple as described in the literature. In 1922
doubt was expressed as to whether the sample
was correctly named.  However, in other years, it was
regarded as correctly named but certain variations
from type as usually describred were noted.

Characterization:
Below medium to small in size; slightly oblate,
smooth regular.  Ground color yellowish nearly.
overspread with bright red with very little or no striping
(herein differing from most descriptions). Dots numerous
light colored, rather conspicuous; a whitish bloom.
Flesh tinged yellow, fine grain, tender, juicy,
mildly acid, rich; very good in quality.  However,
in 1926 it was reported as flat and lacking richness
while in 1927 it was called "very good." Its small
size is against it.
