mercially to other varieties in its season. In quality this selection will rate 
fair to good and is acceptable for both dessert and culinary uses. 
New York 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 
good quality. The season is August to September. This apple should have 
place as an early general purpose apple. 
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 
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. 
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 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. 
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 Spy is not as bright nor as good as a well colored Northern Spy, but 
may be valuable where the regular Spy does not color well.
