yellow washed with deep rather dull red, mostly on sunny side; dots few, grey, dis- 

 tinct; skin thick, rather tough; flesh yellow, crisp, juicy; core small; subacid, good, 

 -pleasant flavour; quality good to very good; season mid to late winter. Tree hardy.

 the late J. L. Budd, Ames, la. 



Frazer's Russ-et. — Fruit about medium size; form roundish to oblate, obtusely 

 conical; cavity medium depth, open, russeted; stem medium length, moderately stout; 

 basin medium width and depth slightly wrinkled; calyx small, partly open; colour

 pkin moderately thick, tender; flesh dull white, crisp, somewhat coarse, moderately 

 juicy; cotg small; mildly subacid, pleasant flavour; quality above medium to good; 

 mid winter to late winter. Tree hardy. 



Owing to hardiness of tree, this may prove a useful apple. 



Hoadly. — Originated in Wisconsin: — Fruit oblate; size above medium; cavity 

 deep, moderately open, slightly russeted; stem short, slender; basin medium depth and 

 ■width, almost smooth to slightly wrinkled; calyx open, colour yellow splashed and 

 streaked with carmine; dots few, yellow, indistinct; skin thick, moderately tender; 

 flesh yellowish with traces of red, juicy, rather tender, briskly subacid; pleasant flav- 

 our; core medium; quality above medium; season October. Tree an upright grower, 

 hardy and prcductive. Scions obtained from the late J. L. Budd, Ames, Iowa. 



Langford Beauty (Russell). — Originated in Russell County, Ontario: — Fruit 

 medium to above medium in size; roundish to oblate; skin pale yellow, almost or com- 

 pletely covered with deep red; dots few, grey, not prominent; cavity shallow, open; 

 stem long, slender; basin shallow, open, slightly wrinkled; calyx closed; flesh white, 

 tender, melting, juicy, subacid, with a pleasant flavour, having a suggestion of Faru- 

 euse about it, slightly astringent; core large; quality good; season middle of August 

 to middle of September. Tree vigorous. Top grafted on Wealthy at the Central Ex- 

 perimental Farm; it has produced good crops every other year. It ripens unevenly 

 and drops badly, making it more desirable for home use than for commercial purposes. 



The apple described under the name of Russell in Bulletin No. 37, Experimental 

 Farms Series, has been found to be the same as this variety.

 basin deep, narrow to medium, slightly wrinlded; calyx partly open; colour pale yel- 

 low almost covered with crimson; dots obscure; skin thick, rather tough; flesh white 

 tinged with red near skin, moderately juicy, tender; core small, briskly subacid, pleas- 

 ant flavour; quality above medium to good; season November. 



A handsome apple, but not specially promising. Not juicy enough.

 large; cavity deep, open; stem short, moderately stout; basin narrow, medium depth, 

 wrinlded; calyx open; colour yellow, slightly washed with pink; dots fairly numerous, 

 grey, distinct; skin moderately thick, tender; flesh yellow, crisp, moderately juicy; 

 core medium size; subacid, spicy, good flavour; quality very good. Season, mid to 

 late winter. Tree moderately productive, but not as hardy, as some others. 



A pleasant dessert apple, but fruit is not attractive. May be useful.
