In some sections this has proved a desirable apple, but in others 

 it has not been successful. It is well known in some locaHties in 

 the Hudson valley, in Northern and Western New York and in 

 Ontario, where it is favorably reo:arded as a fall or early winter 

 apple because of its good size, bright and attractive color and its 

 uniform size and shape. It is a good storage apple, stands shipping 

 well and brings good prices. It is stiitable for market, cooking 

 and evaporating, but not for dessert. It appears to be quite 

 resistant to the attacks of scab. The trees are hardy and often 

 very productive, but in some cases it is reported as undesirable 

 because unproductive. It is said to be a shy bearer when yoimg, 

 but becomes productive with age.
