The fruit of Longfield is usually below medium size but decidedly 

 attractive in appearance for a yellow apple, being clear waxen yel- 

 low, lightly blushed with bright red. Its flesh is white, crisp, fine, 

 very tender and of pleasant quality. It may well be classed among 

 the fancy dessert apples ; it is good also for culinary uses. In mar- 

 keting this fruit it is necessary to handle it with great care because 

 ordinarily its texture is so very tender and its color so delicate that 

 it shows bruises very readily. It is not well adapted for holding 

 outside of cold storage. In ordinary storage its commercial limit 

 at Geneva is late September or early October (42) and in cold 

 storage it may be kept till December (42) ; but as grown further north 

 it may be kept through the winter (26). The tree is a moderate 

 grower, very hardy and very productive ; in fact it bears such heavy 

 crops that the fruit is liable to be deficient in size. On account of 

 the hardiness and productiveness of the tree and the beauty and 

 good quality of the fruit Longfield is recommended for planting 

 for home use and for local and special markets. 



Historical. Longfield was first imported from Russia by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture in 1870; later it was imported from various 

 European sources for the Iowa Agricultural College by Professor Budd.
