Redling Apple

The Redling is an apple remarkable for
keeping well through the winter, and much propagated
by Joseph Cooper and others in Gloucester 
County New Jersey.  The tree grows with many
long and hanging suckers among the limbs.
The fruit is of a dark red with very small but
distinct white spots. The apple is larger than the
midling size and fair.  In the month of March
and April this is a very pleasant and juicy table
fruit and highly worthy of cultivation for a Spring
market apple.  There is a considerable resemblance
between this apple and the Priestly as to color
and shape.  It is however smaller and in its
taste quite different.  No two trees can
differ more in growth.
