 season the fruit is intermediate between Hubbardston and Baldwin. 

 Its uniform size, symmetrical shape, beautiful color and pleasant 

 quality unite to make the Sutton an excellent dessert apple, but being

 healthy in foliage and fruit. The fruit hangs well to the tree. In 

 favorable locations the tree has vigorous dark green foliage, is
