Remarks: Specimens sent in with name variously
spelled.  Arlington records now (1/2/42) available
are incomplete.  But 56 lists a large, yellow, sweet
apple spelled as above, which it is assumed
is the variety here discussed.

Characterization: Good size to large. slightly oblong conic,
especially larger specimens: regular, smooth except very
slight ribbing. Skin color pale yellow, sometimes a
little blushing or bronzing; more or less buttermilk
overspread. Cavity deep, relatively narrow; stem ⅞", slender;
basin rather deep, rather narrow; calyx lobes exceptionally
long, converging; eye rather large closed. Dots variable;
some minute, submerged, almost imperceptible; some
dark brown ranging from minute to small breaks in
the skin, slightly raised and conspicuous. Well developed
specimens rather atttractive.  Flesh white or only slightly
tinged yellow, usually somewhat coarse grain, but 12/18/28 described
as very fine ground; rather breaking texture, somewhat lacking
in juice, sweet, lacks richness; fair in quality (over)
