Raised in 1897 by Mrs Good, Bushey Grove, Hertfordshire and introduced in about 1926 by G.W. King, Sidcup, Kent. It received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1922. This variety is very prone to apple scab. Fruits have very soft, coarse-textured, juicy flesh which is rather acid. Cooks well.
