 of dissemination in other tropical and subtropical regions where most apples do not 

 succeed. It is a large, handsome, summer apple v/ith red skin and tender, juicy, 

 sweet flesh. At the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, Calif., it ripens from 

 late July to the middle of August. The tree is a vigorous, healthy grower. (Chico,

 eties will not succeed. It is a handsome, summer apple (ripening at Chico during the 

 latter half of July), red, about 8 ounces in weight, with waxy skin and yellow, rather 

 mealy flesh of good quality. (Chico, Calif.)
