BRITISH COLUMBIA (New) — Named by the Fruit Growers Association 
of British Columbia; originated by H. P. Bates at Nicomen in the Fraser val- 
ley. The tree is a vigorous grower and very hardy; annual and abundant 
bearer; fruit large; russet on yellow ground, sometimes striped with red; 
somewhat irregular; flavor mild, sub-acid of the highest quality. Mr. Bates 
has now 400 trees of this variety bearing. The original tree, when 34 yeais 
old, measured sixty inches in circumference, and is still in a perfectly healthy 
condition. Mr. Bates has picked thirty-six 50-pound boxes of apples from it 
in one season, and always gets from 25 to 50 cents per box more for them 
than other varieties. We consider this one of the most valuable apples to 
plant for commercial purposes. January to June.
