Abstract

Several new late season apple cultivars have been developed in recent years. A commercially acceptable cultivar must have many desirable characteristics. They include acceptable fruit appearance and flavor, good yielding ability, moderate disease resistance, and acceptable keeping characteristics in storage. Way (5) lists the 13 commercially important cultivars in the U. S. as Delicious, Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Rome Beauty, Jonathan, York Imperial, Stayman, Winesap, Cortland, Yellow Newton, R. I. Greening, Northern Spy, and Gravenstein. Several new cultivars have the potential to replace some of these cultivars.
