Mottled Anis (13 M) is a Russian apple described in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. The source identifies it as a Russian apple cultivar. It does not name a breeder, nursery, parentage, or release date. [S1]
The fruit is medium sized or smaller, oblate, and usually regular, but sometimes uneven. The yellow skin is mostly covered with fine dark crimson splashes and stripes and a heavy blue bloom. The dots are very small, white, scattered, and obscure. [S1]
The flesh is yellow, moderately juicy, fine grained, and subacid. It has a sweet aftertaste when fully ripe. Hansen rated the quality as good. The season is August to September. [S1]
The entry describes a regular, very narrow, acute cavity with considerable russet over the base. It also describes a broad, deep, abrupt basin with fine corrugations around the eye. The available source does not state tree habit, productivity, disease behavior, storage duration, or hardiness zone. [S1]
Mottled Anis appears in the source as one of the Russian apples documented for northern apple culture in the northwestern United States in the early twentieth century. The source supports its Russian origin and apple identity, but gives no direct parentage or lineage links. [S1]
