Thanks! It could be. I'll have to see if our local library has microfilm
of that.

Unfortunately, it looks like it calls for Wealthy apples, yet another
variety that isn't available around here, victim of the apple producers
growing for long term storage.

I'm also looking for Transparent (aka Transparent Yellow) apples,
they used to be sold around here years ago. No longer now.
