ORIGIN — During the planting season of 1908, Lloyd Balderston Ill's father made a planting of several hun- 

 dred York Imperial Trees on his farm at Colora, Cecil County, Maryland. When these trees came into fruting, Mr. 

 Balderston found among them a tree which seemed to produce fruit which was equally as large as the fruit on the 

 other trees in the same orchard and still a typical "York Imperial in every respect except that it started coloring 

 earlier and at maturity every apple on the tree was very highly colored fruit. He continued to observe this for a 

 number of years, the tree never failing to produce this type of fruit according to his observations. During a con- 

 versation with Mr. Lloyd Balderston, III, at the Winter Meeting of the Maryland Horticultural Society, held in 

 College Park, Marj-land, January 1933, he told us of the type of I'ork Imperial which he had on his place. 



FACTS ABOUT THE "COLORA RED YORK"— As soon as we knew definitely where the original tree was, 

 grafts were set from the original tree to reproduce the fruit so as to know whether it would come true to type. 

 AVe observed this original tree very closely during the fruiting seasons of 1933, 1934, and 1935 and each year all of 

 the fruit which it bore would be extremely highly colored apples attaining this color at least three weeks before 

 the regular York Imperial in the same orchard. Our main interest then was to know whether our grafts which 

 we set would produce true to tj'pe and during the fruiting season of 1935 some of these grafts bloomed and set 

 fruit and the fruit which thej' bore were identical to the highly colored fruit borne on the original tree. Again in 

 1936 more grafts which were set came into fruiting and bore this splendid type of fruit, proving to us without 

 question that we had in this tree a definite variation from the old type of Y'ork and an improved apple which 

 would mean millions of dollars to the growers of the Y'ork Imperial type of apple. 



After these grafts reproduced this splendid type of fruit in 1935, we made application during the month of 

 October for a patent on the variety through Mr. Balderston and on 3Iarch 10, 1936, the Plant Patent Authorities, 

 recognizing the "COLORA" Red York as a new and distinct improved type of the York apple granted plant
