"The quality of the Winter Banana ia 
very excellent and it has a spicy flavor 
which I like very much. If the apple is 
productive and hardy, and has the qual- 
ity which the specimen seems to indi- 
cate, it is certainly very valuable." Prof. 
L. R. Taft, of Michigan Agricultural 
College, writes: "While not very large, 
the Winter Banana is of good size, reg- 
ular in form, beautiful and handsome 
in appearance. Unlike most other 
sorts of its color it seems to handle well, 
the specimen that I have^ not showing 
any discoloration after being handled a 
number of times. In flavor it is a very 
mild sub-acid with a rich, aromatic 
odor and flavor. Consider it a very 
valuable apple for either home use or 
market.
