Synonyms. North West Greening (5, 6). Northwestern Greening (i, 

 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13). 



Attractive in color for a green or yellowish apple but apt to be variable in 

 size and not uniform in shape. It is hardier than Rhode Island Greening and 

 on that account some consider it worthy of cultivation in districts where the 

 climate is too severe for the Rhode Island Greening. The fruit has a serious 

 fault in that the flesh within the core lines is apt to be corky and discolored. 

 It cooks evenly and quickly and when cooked has a fine yellow color but is not 

 of high flavor or quality being much inferior in this respect to Rhode Island 

 Greening. As a dessert apple it ranks fair to good in quality. At this 

 Station it has not been a satisfactory keeper in common storage, the rate of 

 loss being high in November and sometimes in December, moderate through 

 the winter and gradually rising to high or very high in the closing weeks of 

 its season. A large part of the fruit does not reach prime condition before 

 January, a considerable portion of it remains sound at the close of the winter 

 and some of it may keep till June. The tree is hardy, vigorous, a fine erect 

 grower in the nursery, and a good strong grower in the orchard. It does 

 not come into bearing very early but eventually becomes productive and is 

 a reliable biennial cropper. 



Historical. Originated in Waupaca county, Wisconsin. Introduced in 1872 

 by E. W. Daniels ( i, 11 ). It has been pretty widely disseminated throughout 

 the northern portions of the apple belt where very hardy trees are desired 

 (i, 4, 5, 8, II ). It has as yet been planted but very little in New York. 



Tree. 



Tree vigorous with moderately long, stout, crooked branches. Form up- 

 right becoming quite roundish or spreading, inclined to droop, dense. Tzvigs 

 moderately long, curved, stout with large terminal buds ; internodes medium
