110 EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



2 GEORGE V.,. A. 1912 



medium width; calyx closed; colour yellow washed and splashed with attractive crim- 

 son; dots moderately numerous, yellow, distinct; skin moderately thick, tough; flesh 

 dull white or yellowish with traces of red, tender, juicy; core below medium; subacid, 

 pleasant flavour; good quality; season October, probably to January. 



Much like Wealthy in outward appearance, flesh and flavour, but is more pointed 

 at apex and skin shows whiter at apex than Wealthy. It is also a better keeper. 



543. Apple from Mrs. Dennis Darcy, Sheenboro, Que. — Large; oblate, ribbed; 

 cavity deep, open; stem short, stout; basin deep, open, wrinkled; calyx partly open; 

 colour pale yellow, washed and splashed with carmine; predominant colour carmine; 

 dots few, white, distinct; skin moderately thick, tender, moderately juicy, coarse; 

 core medium size; briskly subacid, pleasant flavour; above medium quality; season 

 evidently mid-September to early October. 



A large, handsome apple, said to be a seedling of Duchess and hardier than 

 Wealthy. Too coarse for dessert. May be a good cooker. 



APPLE TRBB3 ORIGINATED IN THE HORTICULTURAL DIVISION, CEMTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM. 



In 1910 there were 144 seedling varieties of apples originated in the Horticultural 

 Division which fruited for the first time, making a total of 720 which have fruited from 

 seed sown in 1898 and later. 



Of the varieties which fruited, 171 have been sufficiently promising to warrant pro- 

 pagating for further test. Descriptions of 48 varieties originated in the Horticultural 

 Division have been published in previous annual reports, and the following 13 are 

 published for the first time this year. 



Bingo (Northern Spy Seedling). — Fruit, above medium to large; roundish coni- 

 cal; cavity deep, narrow, xusseted; stem short, stout; basin narrow, deep, slightly 

 wrinkled; calyx partly open; colour, pale greenish-yellow, washed and splashed with 

 crimson with darker splashes; predominant colour, crimson; seeds medium size, 

 broad, acute; dots few, white, distinct; skin thick, tough; flesh yellowish with traces 

 of red, tender, moderately juicy; core small; flavour subacid, sprightly, pleasant; 

 quality good; season December to late winter. 



Resembles Northern Spy considerably in outward appearance, flesh, and flavour. 

 Not quite juicy enough. Promising. 



Carno (Mcintosh Seedling). — Medium size; oblate, regular; cavity medium 

 depth and width; stem short, stout; basin deep, narrow, nearly smooth; calyx partly 

 open; colour, pale yellow well washed with attractive crimson; predominant colour, 

 crimson; seeds medium, acute; dots low, grey, indistinct; bloom bluish; skin moder- 

 ately thick, tough; flesh yellowish, crisp, juicy; core small, subacid, pleasant 

 sprightly; quality good to very good; season evidently November to January. 



Resembles Mcintosh in colour and Shiawassee in shape. Flavour a little like 

 Mcintosh and has an aroma like that apple. An attractive looking apple. Seems a 

 better keeper than Mcintosh. 



Cora (Langford Beauty Seedling). — Above medium size; roundish, very slightly 

 angular; cavity medium depth and width; stem short, stout; basin medium depth 

 and width, slightly wrinkled, almost smooth; calyx closed or partly open; colour, 

 pale yellow, almost white with a pink blush on sunny side; dots white surrounded 

 with pink, moderately numerous, prominent; skin thin, tender; flesh white, tender, 

 breaking, juicy; core medium; subacid, good, Fameusp-like fhivour; quality good 

 to very good; season late September to October. 



Much like Princess Louise, but earlier. Flesh and flavour markedly Famcuse- 

 like. Does not resemble Langford in outward appearance. Would be quite desirable 

 if more attractive in appearance.
