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. 
Red Melba—is a color sport of Melba from Canada. The fruit is solid red 
striped with bright red 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. Where Melba colors poorly, 
_ this red sport should be tried. 
““S Melrose—is a new variety from the Ohio Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio 
which has performed well at Geneva. It resulted from a cross between 
Jonathan and Delicious and the fruits resemble Jonathan except they are 
not quite so highly colored and are somewhat more oblate. Melrose is a 
late keeping high quality dessert apple and is worth a trial planting where 
an apple of this type and season is wanted. 
*Milton—is a handsome apple of Wealthy season and sells readily on roadside 
markets. Its resistance to rust is an important factor in the Hudson River 
Valley. The tree is hardy, vigorous and an annual bearer. The fruits are 
pinkish red with a heavy bloom. The flesh is white, tender, crisp, juicy, and of 
McIntosh flavor but more sprightly. 
Monroe—named and introduced for trial in 1949. Tree upright-spreading, 
vigorous and an annual bearer. Fruit large, roundish-conic; color similar 
to Jonathan, its maternal parent. Flesh yellowish, crisp, juicy and mildly 
subacid; quality good. Winter apple that offers possibilities for dessert 
and culinary uses. 
~ 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 delicious 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 and requires thinning. 
~~ Orleans—is of the Delicious type, but the fruits are more highly colored and 
run larger. Like its sister Medina, its flavor is more sprightly than that of 
Delicious and the russetting of the skin induces wilting unless stored under
