Fruit, medium sized, two inches and a half wide, and about the same
high; roundish, narrowing towards the apex, and with prominent ribs on
the sides like the other Calvilles. Skin, yellowish white, streaked and
veined with red on the shaded side; but covered with beautiful deep
shining crimson, on the side next the sun, and strewed with numerous
white dots. Eye, small and prominent, set in a narrow and wrinkled
basin. Stalk, from an inch to an inch and a half long, inserted in a
deep and narrow cavity, which is lined with thin russet. Flesh, white
tinged with red, crisp and tender, agreeably and pleasantly flavored.
A culinary apple of second-rate quality, ripe during July and August.
The flesh is stained with red, particularly on the side next the sun,
and partakes somewhat of the flavor of the strawberry. It is valued
only for its earliness.
The tree is of small habit of growth, but an excellent bearer. There
is great confusion subsisting between this variety and the Passe-pomme
Rouge, which Duhamel has described under the name of Calville d’Eté.
