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. Its very tender skin and flesh render it susceptible to bruises, 
hence it requires very careful handling. 
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. 
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. Requires thinning to achieve 
size and help maintain annual cropping. 
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. Shows promise of a possible replacement for Baldwin. 
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. 
New York 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. 
New York 4747—This large attractive red-streaked apple is in season about 
with Melba and unlike most early apples, matures its fruit all at one time, 
hence requires only one picking. This variety appears to be superior com-
