Notes

This entry is drawn from A.J. Downing's The Fruits and Fruit Trees of America (1900 edition) and represents a brief period description of the variety. The source provides limited detail on fruit structure (no measurements, cavity/calyx/basin detail, or core/seed information) and does not document tree characteristics, origin, or cultivation history. The defining identification features given are the small roundish form, light russet coloring on yellow ground, firm texture, and distinctive saccharine, perfumed flavor—characteristics typical of the Fenouillet group of European apples.
