The Apples of New York. 



"In 1854 Elliott included Chandler in a list of varieties unworthy of cultiva- 

 tion (6). It is a late fall apple, yellowish striped with red. Tree moderately 

 vigorous but a great bearer (7, 10). An old variety supposedly of Con- 

 necticut origin though Kenrick (i) ascribes it to Chelmsford, Mass. There 

 may be a confusion of two varieties. It is now but little cultivated. 



Waugh describes another Chandler of sweet flavor which seems to be un- 

 known in New York. He states that it is an old variety of Connecticut 

 origin.

 with a few streaks of bright red. Dots light gray.

A Russian variety of the Oldenburg type imported for the Iowa Agri- 

 cultural College by J. L. Budd. Macoun states that it has been grown under 

 several d "fferent names in this country, the most common being Pointed Pipka 

 and Arabka (14). Hansen declares that it is entirely distinct from the 

 Charlamoff as grown by J. G. Mitchell and A. G. Tuttle which is a flat apple 

 of upright habit of tree and not as valuable as many more of the same season. 



It does very well at Ottawa, Canada, and further north. At its best it is a 

 good dessert apple but it has the fault of remaining in prime condition for 

 only a very short time (14). It ripens a little earlier than Oldenburg but as 

 fruited at this Station is inferior to that variety in qualit3^ It comes into 

 bearing young and is a reliable cropper, yielding fair to heavy crops bienni- 

 ally. It is but little known among New York fruit growers. It may be found 

 of some value in those sections of the state where superior hardiness is a 

 prime requisite.
