SYNONYMS. None. 



This variety is particularly valuable for cold climates because 

 the tree is very hardy and the fruit sells well, being bright red and 

 good in quality for either dessert or culinary uses. It is in season 

 from October to early winter or mid-winter. In ordinary storage 

 its commercial limit is October, but in cold storage it may be kept 

 till January or later. It does not stand heat very well before going 

 into storage, and goes down rather quickly (41). Young trees or 

 trees which are making a thrifty growth produce fruit of good 

 size, but mature, slow-growing trees are apt to yield a considerable 

 percentage of undersized fruit, especially when they are overloaded, 

 as is often the case. The crop ripens unevenly, and more than one 

 picking should be made in order to secure the fruit in prime con- 

 dition. If it is left upon the tree till fully colored there is apt to 

 be considerable loss by dropping. The tree is a good thrifty 

 grower when young, but with maturity it becomes a moderate or 

 rather slow grower, forming a medium-sized or rather dwarfish 

 tree. Wealthy is being planted for commercial purposes in many 

 parts of the state, but in most localities the trees are as yet com- 

 paratively young; in some sections of the state it is being planted
