A large winter apple, striped red, moderately attractive, of mild flavor and good quality. It is more suitable for dessert than for any other use. As grown in this locality it comes into bearing moderately young and is a reliable cropper yielding full crops biennially with occasional lighter crops in alternate years. It does not appear to be superior to standard varieties of its season either for home use or for market and for this reason it is not recommended for planting in New York.
