I received this variety from Mr. James Lake, of Bridgewater, and it seems to be so like the description of Diel’s Grosser Gestreifter Hermannsapfel, that I have adopted it as a synonyme.

Skin, deep yellow, tinged with green on the shaded side; but bright deep scarlet where exposed to the sun, generally extending over the whole surface. Eye, closed, with long acuminate segments, and set in a wide and deep basin. Stalk, short and slender, inserted in a deep funnel-shaped cavity, which is generally lined with russet. Flesh, white, with a slight tinge of green, delicate, tender and juicy, with a brisk and pleasant flavor.
A beautiful and showy apple for culinary purposes, but not of first-rate quality; it is in use from October to Christmas.
The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, but not a very abundant bearer. It succeeds well on the paradise stock.
