La Victoire 



Fruit strongly oblate, slightly conic, smooth and regular, size 

 large, cavity medium deep broad, stem short and stout, basin 

 deep, abrupt, regular, calyx small, closed, color light crimson red, 

 washed and striped, nearly covering a greenish ground, dots 

 many, conspicuous, white, bloom considerable, skin tough, flesh 

 white with red streaks, aromatic, core rather large, closed, flavor 

 slightly subacid, quality good, much like Mcintosh, season 

 December or later. Described from specimens from W. T. 

 Macoun, Ottawa, Out. 



The fruit has distinctly the peculiar aroma and flavor of 

 Mcintosh, with the same m.arkings in the flesh. The flesh is 

 firm and seems to be of better keeping quality than Fameuse. 

 Form, size and color do not conform to the Fameuse type. 



Louise (Synonym Princess Louise) 



Fruit round, oblate, irreg-ular, size medium, about like 

 Fameuse, cavity rather shallow, broad, sloping, stem medium 

 long, slender, basin regular medium deep, calyx half-open, color 

 greenish yellov/, with a conspicuous pinkish crimson blush, dots 

 several, crimson, bloom thin, skin tender, flesh white, crisp, juicy, 

 aromatic, core medium large, open, flavor sprightly subacid, 

 quality good to very good, season November-December. -'Flesh 

 resembles Fameuse in color, without the red streaks; it is aro- 

 matic, but with a slightly different aroma, and the flavor is easily 

 distinguishable from that of Fameuse. The color is distinctly 

 inferior to Fameuse. Described from specimens from Central 

 experimental farmi. Ottawa, Ont. 



Originated near Grimsby, Ont., on the farm of Mr. L. Wool- 

 verton, probably from seed of Fameuse. It was first exhibited 

 at the winter meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association 

 in 1879. The first trees distributed through the nurseries were 

 badly mixed with Mcintosh, so that an impression has been 

 given in some quarters that the two varieties are the same. They 

 are very distinct, however. 



Mcintosh (Synonym Mcintosh Red) 



Fruit round oblate, slightly irregular, size medium large, 

 cavity variable, sloping, nearly regular, stem usually short, basin 

 medium deep, rather abrupt, calyx small, tightly closed, color 

 nearly even dark rich wine red, shading to light pinkish crimson
