Elgin Beauty is an apple cultivar originated at Elgin, Minnesota, by O. D. Rollins. It is described as a sister variety of Rollins Prolific and Rollins Pippin. [S1]
The fruit is small to small-medium, roundish to somewhat conical, and irregular. Its skin is yellow with thin dull red striping and splashes, more mixed on the sunny side. The flesh is white, moderately juicy, sweet, and rated good in one description, while another note calls the flavor a peculiar sickish subacid. [S1]
Its season is given as early fall, or about the season of Wealthy. The tree was described as quite hardy and prolific, though the evaluator considered Elgin Beauty and its related Rollins entries to have small practical value. [S1]
