Thank you to all of you with contributions on the Summer Scarlet apple.  I sent Richard Fahey a  big pile of printouts that should either help or confuse the heck out of him.  Maybe it will spur him to try the modern world.

Lon:
 
Richard may want to look into the history of Pearmains.  Its seems that there was a Summer Scarlet Pearmain, the oldest account I can find is 1849 as follows:
 
26. Summer Scarlet Pearmain (Bell's Scarlet) English. —
Medium to large, conical, mostly covered with crimson; 
flesh stained with red; tender and good. Trees grow 
freely, and bear young and abundantly.—Aug. and Sept.
This was in :
THE FRUIT GARDEN,
A TREATISE INTENDED TO EXPLAIN AND ILLUSTRATE THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FRUIT TREES, Published by ALDEN & BEARDSLEY.
 
And more recently, I see the Summer Scarlet Pearmain is listed as a syn to Summer Scarlet in:
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
NOMENCLATURE OF THE APPLE; A CATALOGUE OF THE KNOWN VARIETIES REFERRED
В. Т. GALLOWAY, 1905
