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. 
‘ ie Red Delicious (Bridgham)—is a fine colored sport of Delicious and appears to 
be identical to Delicious except in color. The color is a brilliant light over-all 
red, much superior to the very dark color of some of the older sports of 
Delicious. 
“ 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. 
\Rea McIntosh (Boller)—is a fine strain of McIntosh, credited to Arthur Boller, 
Sodus, N. Y. It develops a good blush color and the fruit is firmer than 
regular McIntosh. In other respects it appears to be identical to McIntosh. 
*~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 medium 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 Van Buren—similar to Duchess in quality but is somewhat larger in size 
and ripens a few days later. In color it is much superior to Duchess being 
an attractive blush red with a heavy bloom. 
“Ruby—produces large, fairly attractive fruit of good quality for both dessert 
and processing. It is a particularly good keeper. May have value as a late 
general purpose variety.
