This is a small table apple, spherical, a little flattened; yellow with a brownish tinge on the sun side, and sprinkled with dark points, it is of a rich flavor, but rather dry.

The fruit has the peculiar good quality of adhering so firmly to the branches, that the wind scarcely ever dislodges it. It will keep through the winter, and is well worth cultivating.--_Ron. Pyr.
