ABSTRACT:
1. A new and distinct variety of apple tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by a general resemblance in some respects to the variety "Golden Delicious" (unpatented), but being principally distinguished therefrom by a semi-dwarf habit of growth, with crotch angles of almost 90.degree.; a more spreading spur type fruiting habit which enables better development and easier picking of the fruit; a larger and more uniform fruit size throughout the tree, with most of the fruit grading tray-pack or extra fancy; excellent russet resistance (at least 95% free of russetting) far superior to the normally heavy russetting of the variety "Golden Delicious;" an attractive golden yellow fruit color which has a distinctive and attractive reddish blush even at low altitudes; better hardiness than "Golden Delicious," with the ability to withstand lower temperatures during the blooming period; a more prolific fruit bearing habit than "Golden Delicious" when grown under the same climate and soil conditions; a longer harvest period usually ranging for about a full month, beginning in early September and continuing into early October at Hendersonville, N.C.; and a self-fertile habit, with a suitability for use as a pollinator for other varieties.
