Kerr is DolgoXHaralson, and I'll agree, it's pretty tasty.  Pretty 
little red-over-yellow apples with crisp tart white flesh.  It is 
available commercially - I got mine a dozen years or more ago, from 
Northwoods Nursery, or whatever it was that has since become One 
Green World, and I'm pretty sure Kuffel Creek Nursery also offers 
it.  I made some Kerr jelly last summer, and it was fantastic.

Centennial crab (DolgoXWealthy) is another tasty little apple-crab 
that's well worth planting;  fruits are a little larger than Kerr, a 
little sweeter, but less aromatic.
