This is a Pennsylvania fruit, of good quality for the table, and an excellent baking apple. Unfortunately it is, of late, so liable to the bitter-rot, that it is scarcely worth cultivation. Fruit quite large, angular or one-sided, generally flat, but occasionally roundish-oblong. Skin fine deep red, with faint, indistinct streaks of yellow, and a few black specks. Stalk short. Flesh yellow, tender and juicy, with a pleasant, sweet flavour. The tree is large, makes a firm, spreading head, and is a regular bearer. November to March. 11*.
