That's very interesting. Other details? (x-ploid, size of crop,
bearing habits, etc)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
Diploid[34], Spur fruiting, Very green and slightly angular~a little
colour. Free fruiting and keeps well. Not used before end Nov. Has no
name~supposedly in common with 90% of UK vars.. 1932 as cross between
English Broadleaf and [prob.] Northern Spy.
Well worth growing in its own right~~ but not in quantity. Pollen is very
good quality.
Best Wishes Brian.
