Melba—is a new McIntosh seedling from Canada. The fruit is bright crimson 
over pale waxy yellow—an attractive color combination. It is of good size, 
mildly and pleasantly flavored and highly aromatic. The season is ahead 
of and shorter than that of Early McIntosh, averaging about two pickings. 
The apples are very tender and bruise easily but are well adapted for the 
roadside stand and the home. 
Milton—is a MclIntosh-like apple which ripens with Wealthy and a month 
before McIntosh. The tree is hardy, vigorous and an annual bearer, The 
fruits are pinkish red with a heavy bloom—most beautiful. The flesh is 
white, tender, crisp, juicy, and of McIntosh flavor but more sprightly. 
Milton is the handsomest of all the McIntosh tribe. 
Newfane—produces large-sized fruit of a very attractive red color. The 
shape is oblong-conic and the flesh tender, medium juicy, mildly flavored 
with a pronounced Delicious aroma. Newfane is a delicious dessert apple 
at Christmas time. 
Ogden—is a sweet apple which ripens a little before McIntosh. The apple is 
large, roundish oblate, handsomely colored with dark solid red and heavy 
bloom like that of its McIntosh parent. The white flesh is often stained 
with red and, altho a little coarse, is tender and juicy with an aromatic 
sweetness which makes the sort especially desirable for baking. The tree 
is hardy and productive. Ogden is a delicious sweet apple. 
Orleans—is of the Delicious type, but the fruits are more highly colored and 
run larger. While Orleans comes in season about with Delicious, it keeps 
longer in common storage. It has the aroma of Delicious but is more 
sprightly. Tree bears early, annually and heavily, and is resistant to scab. 
Red Duchess (Van Buren)—red sport of Duchess that appeared in J. P. Van 
Buren’s orchard at Stockport. Fruit resembles the Duchess except that the 
red is solid. Will pollinate its parent. The most attractive Red Duchess 
tested on Station grounds. 
Red Gravenstein—differs from the old Gravenstein in the solid, dark red 
fruits, the parent fruit being light red and much striped with yellow and 
green. All of the Gravensteins are most excellent autumn apples, but the 
new one is so much superior in appearance to any of its kin that in the 
future its culture alone should be recommended. 
Redhook—so named because of its very handsome dark red color and heavy 
bloom, attractive color being an outstanding characteristic. Sometimes the 
flesh of the apples is decidedly red. The fruit averages about as large as 
McIntosh and ripens between Milton and McIntosh. It is sprightly in flavor 
but highly aromatic —an excellent dessert apple for the home and road- 
side market. 
Red Sauce—is a large, roundish conic apple, nearly covered with solid red. 
The flesh is coarse, tender, crisp, juicy, briskly subacid, aromatic, and red 
to the core-lines, making a red sauce when cooked. The crop ripens in 
October. Red Sauce is a most interesting and desirable curiosity.
