230 THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 



SYNONYMS. English Janneting (6). Fameuse (6). Seever's Red Streak 

 (6). UTTER'S (i). UTTER (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, n, 13, 14). UTTER'S LARGE 

 RED (9). UTTER'S RED (5, 12). U tier's Red (13, 14). 



Fruit of good size, yellow and red, rather attractive in appearance. The 

 tree is a rather upright regular grower, forming a full rounded head, 

 healthy and productive (n). It is very hardy and on this account has been 

 grown to some extent in regions where standard varieties do not suc- 

 ceed (13, 14). 



Historical. Originated in Wisconsin where it was known as early as 

 !8S5 (i). It has been much grown in that state and in other parts of the 

 Middle West (13, 14) but it is little known in New York. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit above medium to large. Form usually roundish oblate varying to 

 roundish, sometimes a little inclined to oblong, often somewhat broadly 

 ribbed, pretty regular. Stem short to medium, moderately stout. Cavity 

 acute to acuminate, deep, medium in width to wide, furrowed gently if at 

 all, sometimes partly russeted. Calyx small, closed or partly open; lobes 

 small, short, obtuse. Basin rather shallow to moderately deep, medium in 

 width, abrupt, slightly furrowed and wrinkled. 



Skin moderately thick, tough, clear, rather pale yellow usually washed 

 with orange-red and narrowly streaked with bright carmine. Some fruits 

 show little or no red but on highly colored specimens the prevailing color is 

 red. Dots not conspicuous, numerous, often submerged or whitish or occa- 

 sionally with russet point. 



Calyx tube elongated funnel-form. Stamens median or below. 



Core sessile, medium size, abaxile; cells symmetrical, open or closed; 

 core lines clasping. Carpels broadly roundish or approaching elliptical, but 

 slightly emarginate if at all, smooth or slightly tufted. Seeds moderately 

 numerous, medium to rather large, somewhat narrow to rather wide, obtuse 

 or approaching acute, moderately light reddish-brown. 



Flesh whitish tinged with yellow, somewhat coarse, crisp, tender, juicy, 

 mild subacid, pleasantly flavored, good. 



Season October to December or later.
