THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 157 



attention was first called to the variety in 1889 when it took first premium as 

 the best seedling apple exhibited at the Whitman County Fair. It is as yet 

 but little grown in the East and so far as we can learn it has as yet been 

 planted in New York to but a limited extent and for trial only.

SYNONYMS. Imperial White (i). PARRY WHITE (i, 2, 3, 4). Superior 

 White (i). White Apple (i). 



Fruit pale yellow or whitish, waxen, of medium size ; quite attrac- 

 tive in appearance for an apple of its class. The flesh is white, 

 juicy, subacid, good in quality for either dessert or culinary use. 

 It follows Yellow Transparent in season, beginning to ripen late 

 in August or early in September and continuing in use into or 

 through October (4). The tree comes into bearing young and is 

 an annual cropper, yielding good to very heavy crops. In spite of 

 its remarkable productiveness it makes a pretty good growth. It is 

 worthy of trial where an apple of its type is desired. 



Historical. Origin unknown. It is supposed to be a Pennsylvania apple. 

 It is occasionally listed by nurserymen (2). It has not yet become known 

 to any considerable extent in New York. 



TREE. 



Tree of medium size and moderately vigorous. Form at first upright 

 spreading but after bearing full crops it becomes roundish and somewhat 

 drooping ; dense. Tu'igs short, curved, stout with large terminal buds ; 

 internodes short. Bark brown tinged with olive-green, lightly streaked 

 with scarf-skin; slightly pubescent near tips. Lenticels quite numerous.
