Fruit, above medium size, three inches and a quarter wide, and two inches and a quarter high; roundish, and much flattened, ribbed on the sides, and undulated round the margin of the basin of the eye. Skin, greenish-yellow, marked with a few faint, broken streaks and freckles of red, and strewed with grey russety dots on the shaded side; but dark dull red, marked and mottled with stripes of deeper red, on the side next the sun. Eye, partially open, with broad flat segments, and placed in an angular basin. Stalk, short, inserted in a deep and uneven cavity, from which issue a few linear markings of russet. Flesh, yellowish, tender, crisp, very juicy and sugary, with a brisk and pleasant flavor. An excellent apple, suitable either for culinary purposes or for the dessert, but more properly for the former; it is in use from October to Christmas. 282. RAMBO.--Coxe.
