Northwestern Greening. This vatiety is traced to a root 

 sprout, from a grafted tree that had been winter killed in central 

 Wisconsin. It has not yet been sufflcently tested during a severe 

 winter to be safely recommended for planting on the cold, dry 

 prairies but is hardy in the county where it first came to notice, 

 and would probably stand almost anywhere along the northern 

 fringe of the Maine apple region. Though not of high quality it is 

 a good apple, of large size, nearly round, regular, slightly conical, 

 changing to yellow w.th large, dark dots as it ripens ; cavity large, 

 round, abrupt, russetted ; s em medium ; basin large, round, wavy, 

 deep ; calyx segments long, narrow, reflexed ; eye large open ; 

 core broad, large, closed, meeting the eye ; seeds small to medium, 

 plump, light brown, numerous; flesh yellowish, lather coarse, 

 flavor mild, sub-acid, ntarl}' sweet; season, winter, in Wisconsin. 

 Can be kept till late spring but the fle>h becomes dry and insipid 

 after its time of maturity is past. 



Newell. This variety, a seedling of Perry Russet, was for 

 some years grown under the name Orange Winter, given it in honor 

 of its originator, Mr. Orange Winter of Sauk Co , W^isconsin. 

 It is a late fall or early winter apple of good quality. Prof. Goff 

 regards it as the best apple in quality that is now grown in Wis- 

 consin. Much confusion has been caused by the misapprehension 

 concerning the meaning of its former name, and to avoid that in 

 future, the Sauk County Horticultural Society has adopted the 

 name Newell. It is a large, oblate, apple ; cavity irregular, large, 

 deep, abrupt, corrugated ; stem medium, slender ; basin large, 

 deep, abrupt, regular, netted with russet; calyx segments short, 

 converging ; eye large, open ; surface smooth, greenish yellow with 

 small brown dots. Flesh yellowish white, fine grained ; core large, 

 broad, oval, clasping, open ; setds plump, medium size, dark 

 brown, numerous; flavor mild sub-acid, almost sweet, quality 

 good
