Fig. 234.—SUTTON BEAUTY.
An old Massachusetts apple, occasionally found in the West, where it attains increased size and beauty. My specimens were from W. Hampton, with many other sorts of interest grown by him in Northwestern Ohio.
Fruit large, handsome, globular, regular; Surface smooth, yellow, mottled and splashed carmine; Dots scattered, brown, vein-reflexed.
Basin wide, regular, russety; Eye large, open; Segments reflexed.
Cavity wide, acute, wavy, brown; Stem long, inclined.
Core medium to large, closed, clasping; Seeds numerous, pointed, angular, dark; Flesh whitish, tender, breaking, juicy; Flavor acid, sub-acid, agreeable; Quality good; Use, table, kitchen and market; Season, December to March.
Thought by Mr. Hampton to be a seedling brought from Southern Ohio.
Sylvester.
