Sandy Glass is a Russian apple cultivar recorded by N. E. Hansen in A Study of Northwestern Apples, a 1902 South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on apples for the northwestern and prairie regions. Hansen identifies it as apple No. 24 M and gives its origin as Russia. [S1]
The fruit is large, regular, and oblate to roundish oblate. The skin is green, with a bronze or dull red blush, persistent white bloom, and grayish white net veining. The cavity is deep, acute, and regular, with slight stellate russet. The stem is short. The basin is very wide, shallow, regular, and wrinkled. The calyx is closed, with very small segments. [S1]
The flesh is white, juicy, briskly acid, and rated good. Hansen gives the season as early winter, so Sandy Glass appears to be a later apple rather than a summer or autumn cultivar. [S1]
The available source gives no breeder, parentage, release date, tree habit, productivity, disease behavior, or storage duration beyond the early winter season note. The hardiness evidence is indirect. Sandy Glass appears in a northern apple bulletin from South Dakota and is listed among cultivars of northern or Russian origin, but the packet gives no explicit zone rating or winter survival statement. [S1]
The available evidence places Sandy Glass within Malus as a named apple cultivar. No direct species formula, sibling context, or later breeding use is documented here. [S1]
