The Fuji.

Red Delicious + Ralls Janet, an unexpected combination... The Red Delicious is grainy and mealy and all in all a poor excuse for an apple.

The Ralls Janet however is an ancient apple pre 1800 from France. It's a greenish-yellow, covered with pinkish red, dark red striping medium to large; yellowish flesh, fine-grained, crisp and juicy; excellent keeper. It's a late season apple and I've never had one.
