It is a handsome fruit, and a great favorite in the West of England, particularly in South Devon. Rather larger than the Golden Pippin, it is of a fine light red, with deeper streaks of the same color, on the sun side. The flesh is breaking, and the juice pleasant, and abundant. It is a prolific bearer, and makes a fine orchard standard tree of the third class, but will bear well in any way. Ripens in the end of August. [Rog. Fr. Cult.] 31.

A medium sized American apple, of second-rate quality; suitable for culinary purposes. It is of a roundish shape; skin, pale yellow on the shaded side, and red striped towards the sun; ripe during August and September.—[Down. Fr. Amer.] 77.
