An American apple; and taking into account its beauty, its excellent
qualities for the dessert and cooking, and its productiveness, we think
it the finest early apple yet known. It begins to ripen about the first
of July, and continues in use all that month. The smallest collection of
apples should comprise this and the Red Astrachan. Trees moderately
vigorous, upright, spreading. Young shoots reddish brown. Fruit medium
size. Form roundish, often roundish oblate, medium size. Skin very
smooth, with a few faint white dots, bright straw color when fully ripe.
Stalk half to three-fourths of an inch long, rather slender, inserted in
a hollow of moderate depth. Calyx set in a shallow basin. Flesh very
white, tender and juicy, crisp, with a rich, sprightly subacid flavor.
Very good to best. Core small.
