good conditions. To date this variety is still on trial. Tree bears early, an- 
nually and heavily, and is resistant to scab. 
~ 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. 
Red Spy—is similar to the Spy, except in color. The color is a solid bright red 
without either stripes or splashes. Red Spy, with its beautiful fruits, should 
give new life to the Spy type of apple. It is particularly recommended 
where a more highly colored Spy is desired. 
\Red Van Buren—according to H. L. Van Buren of Valatie, N. Y., this apple 
is a red sport of Duchess and was found in his father’s orchard at Stockport. 
Fruit resembles the Duchess, except that the red is solid and ripens slightly 
later. It also differs in a few minor characters and unlike other red sports 
pollinates successfully its parent. Desirable for roadside and local markets. 
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. 
~ Sweet Delicious—fruits are flatter than those of Delicious—large and attrac- 
tive in size, color, and shape, with the sweet aromatic flavor of Delicious. 
The variety is an apple for home use where it will be chiefly appreciated 
for dessert and baking. Sweet Delicious is our best winter sweet variety. 
\ Sweet McIntosh—suggests McIntosh in season, appearance, flavor, and aroma, 
but is sweet instead of subacid. The variety is primarily adapted for home use 
—for baking and to eat out of hand. 
~\Webster—A large handsome red streaked apple which should become a valuable 
processing variety. In preliminary processing tests, Webster has rated very 
high and this quality coupled with its early ripening period gives the north- 
eastern growers a variety to compete with the southern grown York Imperi- 
als. Webster produces heavy crops and is in season from October lst to 
December 15th. As it is a triploid and produces poor pollen, provisions must 
be made to insure ample pollination. 
~ Geneva #50-6—A large, round-conic apple with a yellow ground color, splashed 
and striped with red. It is very firm, yellow fleshed, acid, crisp and juicy. It 
appears to be very productive and has promise as a late processing apple. 
Processors and growers who have seen this apple are very enthusiastic over 
its possibilities. 
“ Geneva #16884—Medium to large oblong conic apple with very attractive pink- 
ish-red streaking on yellowish green ground color and covered with a heavy, 
attractive white bloom. The flesh is crisp, white, juicy, slightly acid and of
