SYNONYM. Deiltz (3). 



A hard, green, late-keeping apple used by the trade to some 

 extent as a substitute for Rhode Island Greening late in the 

 season when it often brings good prices. It is decidedly in- 

 ferior to Rhode Island Greening in quality and does not always 

 have a good clear green color, being sometimes streaked more 

 or less with a network of russet. Its great merits are the pro- 

 ductiveness of the tree and the smoothness, uniformity and 

 superior keeping and shipping qualities of the fruit. The tree 

 is superior to Rhode Island Greening and Baldwin in hardiness 

 (5, 8) and usually is a reliable cropper, yielding good to heavy 

 crops biennially or in some localities almost annually. It is a 

 little slow about coming into bearing. In many cases the crops 

 are so heavy that the percentage of loss in undersized fruit is rather 

 high and the trees are damaged by the breaking of the limbs. 



Historical. Originated as a chance seedling in the orchard of Judge Mooney 

 of Granby, Oswego county, N. Y. (i), where it was formerly called the 

 Deiltz. It was introduced into Niagara county by Dr. Mann, and on the 

 suggestion of Elisha Moody of Lockport the Western New York Horticul- 

 tural Society named the apple Mann (3). It is not grown extensively in any 

 portion of the state but it is still being planted to a limited extent by com- 

 mercial growers. 



TREE. 



Tree medium to large, moderately vigorous to vigorous. Form at first 

 decidedly upright and rather dense but after bearing heavy crops becomes
