Remarks:  Specimens were "OK'd" in 1922 but
were so atypical in 1923 that very definite
doubt was expressed as to corrections of name.
At the best specimens were atypical compared
with northern grown fruit of Fameuse.
scions from N. Y. Agr. Sta. 1902

Characterization:  
1924 - fruit fairly good size for the variety. Practically
a solid red overspread with suggestion of leather
cracking about apex.  Has color of flesh, aroma,
and other characteristics of Fameuse of the North
but in a less pronounced degree - especially
flavor than Fameuse from North. In 1925,
while considered correctly named, specimens had
little to suggest the variety except color of flesh.
Good size for Fameuse, but on atypical shade
of red skin color, flesh tougher and lacking in
typical flavor in large degree, still a pleasant apple to eat.
