          poorly developed; also much
variation in size: The Baldwin
"twang" characteristic of the variety
in the North was mostly lacking
or greatly subdued.  When fully
ripe, the general impression
that the apples were less acid
than in the north prevailed.

Though not recorded in the
notes, the early developing of the
fruit was characteristic here.
In case of a heavily loaded tree-
and not infrequently the trees
bore very heavily - the ground
beneath the tree would often
be litterally covered with drops
as early as August.  This was
and is - true of many Northern
varieties when grown as far
south as this.

Questions prevailed throughout
the studies regarding the
identity of several numbers:

#4346 F-5-2 according to the
records should be Hubbardston
It was identified in 1925 as Baldwin.
Possibly Tree 6 - not shown may have
been Hubbardston.

Kinnard, but fruit identified as
Baldwin. Records show 17 & 18 were
different in tree characters. 17 a very poor
tree, and appeared same as 16 - a mix - up
somewhere.
