SYNONYMS. OKABENA (i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7). OKOBENA (6). 



An autumn apple not particularly attractive in appearance, nor more than 

 moderately good in quality. Not recommended for planting in New York. 



Historical. Originated in 1871 near Worthington, Minn., from seed of 

 Oldenburg said to be fertilized by Wealthy (7). Received for testing at 

 this Station in 1892, from the Jewel Nursery Company which introduced this 

 variety. In 1899 it was given a place on the list of the American Pomologi- 

 cal Society as a variety of value in the Upper Mississippi valley (2). So far 

 as we can learn it has been grown in the East only in an experimental way.
