MANN. 



The Mann apple is not very highly recommended for extended orchard planting in 

 Ontario, because of its rather unattractive green color in shipping season. The tree 

 has the merit of being a productive variety and an early bearer, but the fruit is inclined 

 to drop early, and to be small when not thinned. 



ORIGIN : New York 

 State, a chance 

 seedling introduced 

 by Dr. Mann, after 

 whom it was named 

 by the Western 

 New York Horticul- 

 tural Society. 



TREE : hardy, 

 moderately vigor- 

 ous, spreading, 

 with slender 

 branches; a little 

 slow coming into 

 bearing and in- 

 clined to overbear. 



FRUIT: of large 

 size when thinned 

 and well cultivated, 

 form roundish, ob- 

 late, regular; skin 

 dull green, yellow : 

 ing at maturity, 

 nearly covered with 

 light green dots; 

 MANN. stalk half an inch 



long in a large, 

 slightly russeted 

 cavity; calyx closed 

 in a somewhat 

 abrupt, furrowed 

 and wrinkled basin. 



FLESH: yellowish, 

 moderately firm, 

 juicy, agreeable, 

 subacid. 



QUALITY : dessert 

 poor; cooking good. 



VALUE: first class 

 for home or foreign 

 market, but the best 

 prices are not 

 always obtained for 

 the fruit, owing to 

 its u n a 1 1 r active 

 color. 



SEASON : January 

 to April.
