This is a variety of the Aport group. It resembles Alexander 

 very closely in size, form, and color. Hansen states (20) that it is 



supposed to be a seedling of the Alexander, which it sometimes

 as grown in the West. The Wolf River has largely superseded 

 Alexander in the western states. Tree a strong spreading grower, 

 not an early bearer, but productive in alternate years." As fruited at 

 this Station it is in season from September to December, with 

 October as the commercial limit in ordinary storage. In cold 

 storage it may be held till January. It does not stand heat well,
