with or just after Sweet Bough and requires two or even three pickings. It 
is a very handsome red striped apple of medium size and excellent quality. 
Should prove of merit to those who desire an early sweet, attractive apple. 
Early McIntosh—resembles McIntosh in appearance but is less aromatic and 
more sprightly. Its tree is vigorous and productive. One of its major faults 
is that it sets too heavy a crop on alternate years. Severe thinning is requisite 
to obtain a good commercial size. Early McIntosh ripens about one week after 
Melba and about with the Duchess. Its main value is for the home and local 
markets. 
Greendale—its name suggests green color and it is handsome green in color 
like its parent, Lodi, while it is shaped like its other parent, McIntosh. 
The combination of these two characters has resulted in an attractive, 
trimly shaped, green apple. Its quality, too, is as good as its appearance — 
excellent for both eating and cooking. To extend the season of Lodi this 
sort is unsurpassed for a roadside trade which desires a good green apple 
late in August. 
Haralson—a Minnesota production, is a hardy, productive, red, culinary apple 
that keeps well in storage. Recommended for trial, where hardiness is requisite. 
Kendall—is handsomely colored over the entire surface with dark red, covered 
with a thick bloom. Its season is about that of McIntosh. The apples are large, 
trim in outline, and when properly ripened, possess the whitish, fine-grained 
flesh of McIntosh. The flavor is more sprightly than that of McIntosh. Skin 
is often slightly russetted which induces shrivelling in storages, low in humid- 
ity. Main value is for roadside and curb markets. Advisable to dispose of 
fruit by the end of winter holidays. 
Lobo (a Canadian variety)—precedes its parent McIntosh in season. It is 
larger and darker red with more conspicuous dots. The flavor is subacid 
with some of the McIntosh aroma. The apples hang to the tree better than 
McIntosh. It is a variety primarily adapted south of the McIntosh area. 
Lodi—has rapidly become a commercial apple in those areas that grow early 
yellow-colored apples, such as the Yellow Transparent. Its fruits ripen a few 
days later than Yellow Transparent but they are larger and stand up better 
in shipping. Further, the tree is less prone to biennial bearing. 
Macoun—is liked by many due to its crisp, white flesh and pleasing flavor. It 
holds up better in storage than its McIntosh parent. Tree is upright until 
opened up by a heavy crop and is slower in coming into bearing than McIntosh. 
Requires thinning, otherwise fruits may be smaller than desired. Early thin- 
ning likewise induces a more even bearing. Macoun is in favor for dessert 
purposes. 
Medina—is an apple of the Delicious type and prolongs the season of that 
variety. The fruits compared with Delicious average larger, keep better in 
storage, and have more sprightliness and less aroma. Worthy of trial where a 
late-keeping culinary apple is desired.
