Cayuga Red Streak, Lima, and Wine of Connecticut.
A very large and showy apple. It is a good, sprightly fruit, though not
very high flavored, but its remarkably handsome appearance and large
size render it one of the most popular fruits in the market. The tree is
thrifty, and makes a compact, neat head; bears regular crops, and the
fruit is always fair and handsome. Young wood rich, brownish red. Fruit
very large, roundish, slightly uneven, greenish yellow, boldly splashed
and marbled with stripes of purplish red. Stalk short, set in a wide,
deep cavity. Calyx small. Basin moderately deep. Flesh coarse grained,
sprightly, brisk subacid. Good to very good. October to January.
