SYNONYMS. STUART (6). STUART'S GOLDEN (i, 2, 3, 4). Stump, incor- 

 rectly (i). 



Fruit rather attractive in color for a yellow apple, not large enough for a 

 good commercial variety but a very late keeper and of excellent dessert quality. 

 The tree is not large, comes into bearing moderately young and is a reliable 

 cropper, yielding full crops biennially. Not recommended for commercial 

 planting in New York. 



Historical. Originated on the farm of Wm. Stuart, Rush Creek, Ohio (i). 

 It has been disseminated to some extent in the Middle West ; but, so far as 

 we know, it is not grown in New York except at this Station.

 much spreading, open. Twigs below medium to short, straight or slightly

 cent. Lenticcls clear in color, scattering, small to medium, oblong, usually

 pubescent. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit usually below medium but sometimes medium or above. Form round- 

 ish oblate or inclined to oblong truncate, often slightly oblique. Stem slender,
