Origin: in Maidstone, Kent, England, by Henry M. Tydeman, East Malling Res. Sta. Introd. in England in 1945 and in Canada and the U.S. in 1946 as P.I. 241965. McIntosh × Worcester Pearrnain; seedling planted in 1929; first fruited in 1936; selected about 1940.

Fruit: intermediate between parents; large; skin solid bright red, attractive; flesh firm, quality very good, flavor pleasant for eating fresh; stores very well at 32 °F; ripens early, before Worcester Pearrnain and 3 weeks before McIntosh; resembles McIntosh.
