The Summer Ramho, (IIO 395 ), Orosh (IIO 396 ), 
and Western Beauty (110394) Tangle 
The crop of Summer Ramho was harvested August l4. The only 
specimens now available are a dozen or so apples which apparently 
were left on the trees vrhen the crop was harvested and have since 
dropped, with the exception of three rather poorly colored but good- 
size specimens which were found still hanging on an inside limb of 
Tree 3 Row 12 Section G-. Eleven other specimens from various trees 
were picked from the ground. Quite a number of the specimens were so 
ripe that they bruised badly when they fell. In other-words it is now 
long past the season of this variety. 
V/estern Beauty was harvested August 22. They were noted, when 
examined on Aug. 27, as being then rather firm and hard with the 
suggestion that they would probably rate good or better in quality 
vjhen thoroughly ripe. It was also then noted that the variety was 
probably two or three weeks later than Summer Rarabo. On Sept. 20 
a half-dozen specimens of the variety were found on the ground with 
three specimens still on one of the trees. There is quite a dif¬ 
ference in the externa.1 appearance betvreen Summer Rambo and Western Beauty. 
The general form, cavity, basin, eye and so forth are very similar. The 
ground color of Summer Rambo is yellow. Of Western Beauty it is^ a much 
paler yellow. In general Western Beauty has taken on considerably more 
color than Summer Rambo. While some specimens of the latter are well- 
covered with red, the majority show only a rather scattered striping. 
The specimens of Western Beauty are, for the most part, pretty 
highly colored. They have a fairly complete wash of a rather heavy 
red with a sort of purplish shade, the latter not very prono\mced but 
it is a perceptibly different shade of red from Summer Rambo. More¬ 
over, Summer Rambo, even on the highly colored specimens, has a good 
deal of striping. With the hipest colored specimens of Western 
Beauty the red merges fairly completely although there is faint striping 
evident. The less well-colored specimens of Western Beauty are quite 
distinctly striped, the striping more in evidence than on the less 
well-colored specimens of Summer Rambo. At the present time some of 
the specimens of Western Beauty have a firmness of texture and a gloss 
that is a little suggestive of the Lavjver finish. liany of the dots of 
Summer Rambo appear as small, triangular or irregular breaks in the 
skin, the dots being raised. The dots of Western Beauty are smaller, 
yellowish and regular. They are rather small, some areole. A few 
appear as minute bre^s in the skin but not as a rule. 
Contrasting these with Grosh, that variety has not yet been 
picked. The two trees are heavily loaded. The fruit averages larger 
than either of the other two varieties. A good deal of the crop is 
on the ground but still the trees have a pretty good crop remaining 
on them. The fruit from the trees is still very hard and firm. Some 
of that v;hich is on the ground is in eating condition. In form and
