A noted English cooking apple, which may be gathered for tarts as early
as the month of August, and continues in use till November. It is an
early and a great bearer and a vigorous tree, and is one of the most
profitable of orchard sorts for cooking or market. Tree very hardy,
forming a large, regular, upright, spreading, round head. Fruit a little
above the middle size, rather conical, with a few obscure ribs. Stalk
short and deeply set. Calyx rather large. Skin greenish yellow, washed
with a faint blush on one side. Flesh yellowish white, juicy, with a
pleasant acid flavor.
