Narrative

Full description and color plate in Hedrick (1921). A seedling of Seckel raised by Sylvester Worden of Minetto, Oswego County, New York, about 1881. Introduced about 1890. Added to APS catalog list in 1909.

Fruit small to medium in size but definitely larger than that of Seckel. Obovate-acute-pyriform in shape. Skin smooth, clear yellow in color, heavily blushed with brilliant crimson, very attractive. flesh fairly fine, somewhat granular at center, tender but not fully buttery, moderately juicy. Very sweet, somewhat insipid in flavor, often astringent. Decidedly inferior to Seckel in dessert quality. A little later than Seckel in season. Tree fairly vigorous, upright-spreading in habit, productive, moderately susceptible to fire blight. -- H. Hartman 1957.
