  Found 
  as 
  a 
  chance 
  seedling 
  in 
  the 
  Yellow 
  Trans- 
  

   parent 
  orchard 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Wrixham 
  Mcllvain 
  near 
  Mag- 
  

   nolia, 
  Delaware, 
  about 
  1920. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Mcllvain 
  after 
  several 
  years 
  observation 
  deter- 
  

   mined 
  the 
  variety 
  to 
  be 
  superior 
  in 
  every 
  way 
  to 
  the 
  

   Transparent 
  and 
  grafted 
  over 
  his 
  Transparent 
  orchard 
  

   to 
  this 
  variety. 
  This 
  2nd 
  generation 
  orchard 
  now 
  18 
  

   years 
  of 
  age 
  has 
  been 
  producing 
  heavy 
  crops 
  for 
  14 
  

   years. 
  A 
  3rd 
  generation 
  orchard 
  was 
  planted 
  in 
  1935 
  

   and 
  began 
  bearing 
  at 
  4 
  3 
  r 
  ears 
  of 
  age. 
  The 
  tree 
  is 
  more 
  

   spreading 
  than 
  Transparent, 
  vigorous 
  and 
  hardy 
  in 
  

   wood 
  not 
  being 
  subject 
  to 
  blight 
  and 
  other 
  fungus 
  

   diseases. 
  The 
  fruit 
  averages 
  large 
  in 
  size 
  being 
  a 
  little 
  

   more 
  flat 
  in 
  shape 
  than 
  Transparent 
  and 
  packing 
  out 
  

   commercial 
  sizes 
  of 
  2 
  1 
  / 
  £" 
  and 
  2^4" 
  at 
  picking 
  time. 
  The 
  

   Wrixparent 
  ripens 
  from 
  10 
  to 
  15 
  days 
  before 
  the 
  Yellow 
  

   Transparent 
  and 
  ripens 
  its 
  fruit 
  evenly 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  en- 
  

   tire 
  crop 
  may 
  be 
  harvested 
  in 
  two 
  pickings 
  if 
  desired. 
  

   It 
  is 
  an 
  attractive 
  light 
  green 
  color 
  without 
  markings 
  ; 
  

   the 
  flesh 
  is 
  white, 
  crisp, 
  sprightly, 
  very 
  fine 
  in 
  texture 
  

   and 
  does 
  not 
  bruise 
  readily 
  or 
  turn 
  dark 
  after 
  bruis- 
  

   ing. 
  Sub-acid 
  in 
  flavor 
  and 
  unsurpassed 
  as 
  a 
  cooking 
  

   apple. 
  The 
  fruit 
  keeeps 
  well 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  held 
  for 
  10 
  to 
  

   15 
  days 
  after 
  picking 
  without 
  storage. 
  The 
  Wrixparent 
  

   is 
  an 
  annual 
  bearer 
  and 
  continues 
  to 
  bear 
  large 
  fruits 
  

   on 
  the 
  older 
  trees.
