A Russian apple, large, roimdish or somewhat oblong, green- 

 ish-yellow, handsomely shaded and striped with red and covered 

 with light bloom. When fully mature the ground color is yel- 

 low and the red is bright and dark often nearly covering the 

 fruit. Quality good to very good for culinary use. Season 

 August and September. The tree is a vigorous grower, comes 

 into bearing rather young and is moderately productive. It is 

 one of the best Russian apples of its season which we have 

 tested. The crop does not ripen uniformly and more than one 

 picking is required in order to secure the fruit in prime condi- 

 tion for market. Titovka is perhaps worthy of testing for 

 market where fruit of this type and season is desired.
