Arcad is listed as an apple of Russian origin in A Study of Northwestern Apples [S1]. The same source describes it in two somewhat different entries: one gives small, roundish, slightly cylindrical fruit, yellow with a pale blush, while another describes fruit as medium or smaller, angular, roundish conical, and greenish yellow becoming white [S1].
The flesh is described either as white, juicy, sprightly subacid, and good, or as white, fine grained, firm, very sweet, and excellent [S1]. Reported season also differs: one entry says fall, while another says Early August [S1].
Additional botanical details include a deep, wide cavity with radiating russet, an open calyx in one description, and a closed core with few closely packed seeds in another [S1].
