Characterization:
some uncertainty
as to what the variety should be like but
following summarize notes made from year to year.
In 1923 it was likened in appearance to Cannon
Pearmain as stated above. In 1925, the specimens appeared
to possess no suggestion of crab characters - (as commonly
conceived).  Apparently quite variable from 
season to season.  Above medium size, roundish
conic, sometimes slightly oblong; some seasons
some specimens are slightly oblate.  Mostly regular 
except indistinct ribbing sometimes; some specimens
halves are unequal.  Ground color yellow, largely overspread
with light to bright red and indistinct stripes.
