in the shade, dots many, bloom heavy and conspicuous, skin 

 tough, flesh snow-white with crimson shadings, core medium,, 

 flavor subacid, aromatic, quality good, about like Fameuse,. 

 season December-January. A fine thrifty spreading grower. 

 Comes into bearing early, but not so early as Fameuse. Not 

 quite so prolific as Fameuse, but fruitful enough. Said to be less 

 susceptible to the attacks of the scab fungus, but requires careful 

 spraymg, nevertheless, to get good fruit. This is really one of 

 the best apples, either for market or home use, for planting in 

 Vermont, especially in the northern counties. 



This variety originated on the Mcintosh homestead in Matilda 

 township, Ontario. It was first propagated and distributed 

 about thirty years ago by Mr. Allan Mcintosh, whose father 

 discovered the original tree when clearing away some second 

 growth timber on the farm, then new.*
