Favorite American cooking apple known in earliest colonial times. Fruit medium to large, round and symmetrical with green skin and occasional orange flush. Firm, rich, juicy, greenish-yellow flesh with peculiar, tart, refeshing, pleasantly acid flavor. One of the best pie apples and excellent for fresh eating if tree-ripened. Triploid.
