which constitute a perfect Ben Davis are not the same which make 

 a perfect Williams Favorite. Mann is notable for its keeping quality, 

 and two samples of this variety in competition would be judged 

 chiefly on that point. Maiden Blush is remarkable for its beauty, 

 and two competing samples would be judged chiefly on this quality. 

 Mother is cultivated principally on account of its high flavor, and 

 with this variety all other considerations ought to be secondary.

 ties. It is evident that when a variety is intended for cold storage 

 it must be judged on a different basis from that used when it is 

 to be sold for immediate table use.
