EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 305 



ing bitter and puckery. Texture very firm. Flesh dry and tough. 

 Small in size. Not promising. 



Boiken. A bright, attractive yellow apple with a slight red blush. 

 Form oblate, conical, often ribbed. Cavity is broad and deep. Stem 

 moderately long and slender. Flavor is rather brisk sub-acid, too strong 

 to make it a good dessert apple, altho sufficiently so for culinary pur- 

 poses. A good keeper in storage. The tree is healthy and vigorous. 

 Foliage large. Quite productive. Season November to March. Fruit 

 quite resistant to scab. 



Colfax. Fruit roundish oblate, very slightly conical. Flavor is mild 

 sub-acid, very pleasant. Color is red, blushed and dashed on green- 

 ish-yellow ground. Firm and juicy. Flesh has a pinkish tinge in 

 places at times. Ripens during the latter part of September. Size 

 medium. 



Dudley. A very good, medium early variety. Roundish, oblate 

 conic fruit, of a rich creamy yellow color striped and splashed with a 

 dark rich red. Flavor brisk sub-acid and of good quality. Of good 

 size and appearance. Well shaped and not susceptible to scab. Tree 

 not a very strong grower, but is vigorous. Of a spreading and droop- 

 ing habit. Ripens during the first week in September. In the north it 

 would make an early winter apple, and would be a very good variety 

 for that part of the country. 



Duchess Seedling. A fruit somewhat larger than the Duchess and 

 ripening a few days earlier. The coloring is similar except that 

 this variety has a >^cream-colored ground and is not so profusely 

 striped as the Duchess. The growth of the tree is similar but the 

 leaves are somewhat smaller. Does not come into bearing as early as 

 does its parent and is not quite as prolific. 



Fameuse Sucre. A sweet Snow apple. In appearance very sim- 

 ilar to Fameuse or Snow, but generally colors up better and is even 

 handsomer. Its pure white flesh in contrast with its dark, glossy red 

 skin make a fine show. The quality is very good. In size about the 

 same as Snow, ripens with it, and is about as productive. It makes 

 an excellent dessert apple and should be tried by those desiring a 

 fancy apple of the Fameuse type. 



Fulton. Ripens the first week in November. It is handsome, dis- 

 tinctly oblate, very regular and smooth. Color, creamy, rich, blush- 

 ed with an attractive red. Flavor, mild sub-acid and very pleasant, 

 crisp, juicy and breaking. Flesh nearly white. Only fairly pro- 

 ductive. 



Hamilton (Black). A medium-sized yellow apple, ripening about 

 the middle of September. The yellow is sometimes slightly overlaid 

 with red. Quality very good, the flavor being brisk sub-acid. Flesh 

 quite yellow, tender and crisp. Tree vigorous and quite productive. 

 It shows bruises quite easily. 



Milwaukee. Large, roundish oblate, and in color much like the 

 Duchess, but is larger and later. Tree in habit similar to that variety. 

 A good variety to extend the season of that type. Ripens September 

 fifteenth. 



ISfeicby, (Doctor). Medium to large, oblate, angular variety of yel- 

 low color mostly covered with bright red. The basin is quite wide and
