Skin, greenish yellow, changing to lemon yellow as it attains maturity, and striped with red next the sun. Eye, large and open, with long broad segments, set in a wide and angular basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a deep and wide cavity, which is lined with brown russet. Flesh, yellowish white, firm, crisp, and juicy, with a sugary, aromatic, and pleasantly sub-acid flavor. An excellent culinary apple of the finest quality, in use from Novem- ber to April. The tree is hardy, and though not strong, is a healthy grower, attain- ing the middle size, and an excellent bearer.
