FIRESIDE (Minn. No. 993) 
This large, long keeping winter Apple can un- 
questionably be rated as one of the highest qual- 
ity varieties produced at the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm. The flavor would be rated as a 
rich, subacid, almost sweet; the flesh is crisp, 
firm and juicy, and it never develops the bland, 
dry characteristics of some highly flavored Apples 
at the close of their season. This Apple does not 
color as highly as could be desired north of St. 
Paul. Tests in regions south of the Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm seem to indicate that it will develop 
better color as it is taken southward and east- 
ward. It is highly promising as a variety for 
home use and in locations where satisfactory 
color is developed, it should become an out- 
standing commercial variety.
