51166. "Alpha, aphis-resistant seedling from Irish Peach. The fruit 

 is twice as large as the parent and much earlier. I consider it 

 the earliest apple in existence. It is a gold mine to the fruit 

 grower on account of its size, flavor, and extreme earliness; it 

 is aphis proof and very productive. I predict a great demand 

 for this apple as soon as I put it on the market, and when largely 

 planted here, I think it will give the consignments of Canadian 

 apples that arrive here in early summer a very nasty bump." 



The parent, Irish Peach, is described in the Wright catalogue 

 as "A medium-sized oblong fruit with clear yellow skin hand- 

 somely striped with bright red. The yellowish white flesh is 

 tender and very juicy; the tree is a regular cropper and aphis 

 proof."

 resistant, and used as a stock."
