I'rom outward appearance and flesh would consider it a seedling of Mcintosh.

Of the Fameuse group. This was top-grafted on Gravenstein about thirty-five 

 years ago. Have suggested the name of " Loomer." Rather too dark in colour and 

 stained flesh might be against it.

 ish; cavity medium depth and width; stem medium length, stout; basin medium 

 depth and width, wrinkled; calyx closed or partly open; yellow; seeds below medium,

A good dessert apple, which might be desirable to propagate if productive and 

 hardy. 



APPLES OPJGINATED IN THE HORTICULTURAL DIVISION, CENTRAL 



EXPERIMENTAL FARM. 



Each year a few of the best of the many seedling apples originated in the 

 Horticultural Division are named, and descriptions published in the annual report. 

 Since 1903 there have been 1,214 different varieties fruited which have been raised 

 from seed without liand pollination and of which only the mother parent is definitely 

 known. Of these, sixty-six fruited for the first time in 1913. Of the total of 1,214 

 which have fruited ninety varieties have been considered sufficiently promising for 

 ?ome part of Canada to name, and the descriptions of ten are now published for the 

 first time.
