Remarks:
1924 - 9/14 - Excellent specimens of the variety.

It seems probable that this is the apple discussed
in Apples of New York under the name Autumn Swaar.
B.P.I. Bul. recognizes Fall Swaar, with Autumn Swaar apparently a different apple.

Characterization: Medium to good size; roundish conic
to slightly oblate: skin color rather dull not
very attractive yellow; dots conspicuous, large smaller and more numerous about apex
irregular, sometimes stellare; Cavity medium, some
russeting in; stem medium, ⅝"; basin medium;
calyx lobes medium somewhat reflexed; eye
partially open; skin rather rough suggestive of Russet
type and quite typical in general of Swaar. Flesh
tinged yellow, tender, medium fine grain,
juicy, subacid, moderately, rich, pleasant,
pretty good; Aug. 17/27 noted as still pretty firm - probably
picked a little Early Aug. 17/28, noted as then in good eating
