inated at the Idaho Agricultural 
'Experimental Station from a cross 
between Wagner and Jonathan. 
Thoroughly tested, Ida Red has 
performed outstandingly here in 
Geneva. Matures in October about 
10 days after McIntosh. We predict that Ida Red will become 
the best late keeping dessert and general purpose apple.

better cooking apple than Mclntosh, it-is particularly tasty
