Del,

I have Whitney, it fruited for me last year. It is a very nice looking 
apple-crab,
red with yellow stripes, about 2".

I used them for displaying at the BCFTA Apple Show at UBC so I didn't taste 
them.

Fiala describes Whitney as a European commercial crabapple, fruit yellow with 
red
stripes, 2", susceptible to CAR and mild fire-blight.

Now, I think there's two Whitney's. One originated in Europe ~1869 and one
originated in Illinois, no date given.
