A lot of other synonyms are given, some of which are wrong. In our Beschrijving der vruchtsoorten [Description of fruit varieties] we mentioned Kentish Pippin (C. L. 378) as a synonym, which proved to be incorrect.
The origin of this apple is unknown. It is been grown in Boskoop from time out of mind.
SHAPE: as in our illustration, sometimes a bit lopsided, as shown by the Handbuch and LUCAS.
SIZE: third grade.
EYE: wide open, sepals bent backwards, in a shallow, saucer-like, almost level basin, surrounded by little ribs and folds.
STALK: 25 - 35 mms, thin, woody, in a deep, usually russeted cavity; the stalk often has a bit of flesh at one side.
The COLOUR is a mat greenish yellow, dully light-red at the sun side, somewhat striped and spotted, but never so intensely coloured as LUCAS suggests, with grey, unevenly spread lenticels surrounded by whitish ringlets, covered by a thin grey russeting. The skin is smooth, rather thin.
The FLESH is cream-coloured, sweetish sour, soft, juicy, a little aromatic, very pleasant in a warmer climate. The core is medium sized, small cells with imperfect, light brown pips
TIME OF USE: October and November, sometimes later; in our climate of the second grade.
The TREE is an excellent grower and bears mildly; the twigs are slender, bronzy olive-coloured with brown; grey, unevenly spread lenticels; the buds are small, flat, standing away from the twig; the shoots are thin, light brown with green, woolly; the leaf stalks are 30 - 35 mms long; the leaves are oval, broader near the top, blunt, bluntly serrated, lively green. The tree can be recognized by its beautiful, well-balanced growth. Can be recommended as a crown-shaped standard tree and as a pyramid; a good apple for the orchard and for the market.
