A Russian variety of the Yellow Transparent type. It resembles the 

 Yellow Transparent so closely that some have considered them identical but 

 they are distinct (6, 12). Since Yellow Transparent is superior in health, 

 vigor and productiveness Thaler is not recommended for planting.

Synonyms. Thompson (i). Thompson No. 24 (2). Thompson's Seed- 

 ling No. 24 (i). 



Pruit of pretty good size, striped red and yellow, rather attractive. Flesh 

 subacid, fair or possibly good in quality. Season late winter. The tree is a 

 pretty good grower, comes into bearing rather young and bears nearly annu- 

 ally yielding moderately good crops. This is a new variety which has gained 

 recognition in the upper Mississippi valley on account of its hardiness in that 

 region. It is also reported as promising in the Northern apple districts of 

 Maine (2). It is not worthy of planting in this state where standard 

 varieties of its season succeed but may be worth testing in those localities 

 where a tree of superior hardiness is desired. 



Historical. Originated by J. S. B. Thompson, Grundy county, la., and first 

 propagated under the name Thompson Seedling No. 24 (i). In 1892 it 

 was received for testing at this Station from the Jewell Nursery Company, 

 Lake City, Minn., by which the variety was introduced. 



Tree. 

 Tree moderately vigorous with moderately long, slender, curved, droop- 

 ing branches. Form spreading, open, inclined to droop. Twigs moderately 

 long, curved, moderately stout ; internodes medium. Bark brown tinged 

 with red, lightly streaked with scarf-skin ; slightly pubescent near tips. 

 Lenticels numerous, medium size, oval, raised, conspicuous. Buds medium 

 size, broad, obtuse to acute, free, slightly pubescent.
