™ Crimson Beauty—a very early red apple from New Brunswick. Tree is hardy, 
productive and an annual bearer. Fruit is large, slightly flattened, sprightly 
and fair in quality. Like all early varieties, fruit drops easily and therefore 
trees should be spot picked. Desirable for roadside markets and home use. 
. Dunning—is the earliest ripening good red sweet apple. It ripens early in August 
) 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. 
4 Franklin—at Geneva ripens a few days ahead of McIntosh and is a high quality, 
though mild flavored dessert apple. The fruit is round-conic in shape and 
attractively red striped with a heavy bloom. It has a tendency toward biennial 
bearing which may not be serious where blossom thinning sprays are used. 
. 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. 
S Idared—originated at the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station from a 
cross between Wagner and Jonathan. It is a handsome solid red apple of 
good quality, maturing about ten days after McIntosh. At Geneva, Idared 
has performed very satisfactorily and shows real promise as a late keeping 
dessert or general purpose apple. 
~ 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. Main 
value is for roadside and curb markets. Advisable to dispose of fruit by the 
end of winter holidays. 
“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.
