usually longer and, toward the base of new shoots, less reddish showing some 

 blending with yellowish. The lenticels are fewer and often some are elongated. 

 The leaves are more folded and show some waving similar to Yellow Trans- 

 parent. The serrations are less dull, more irregular, and more distinct. 



Macoim (Fig. 25) is a more stocky tree than Mcintosh, with few stout, 

 rather narrowly upcurving branches. The leaves are broad, even roundish, 

 and of a notably rough or rugose texture. The serrations are sharper than 

 those of Mcintosh. 



Milton has shoots more slender than Mcintosh and the serrations are much 

 sharper. The leaves are less folded, and the texture smoother than Mcintosh 

 and much smoother than Macoun.
