Many good commercial apple varieties that have satisfactory color and attractiveness as grown in other apple producing regions show poor color development and finish when grown at Carbondale. In an earlier paper, Mowry (9) stated that the apple variety testing program at the Illinois Horticultural Experiment Station (IHES) was being conducted to find early maturing, highly colored, and attractive, dessert and culinary apples that were firm enough to be handled in the wholesale channels. In addition, the climatically adapted varieties are being used as parents for contributing specific characters in the apple scab resistance breeding program.
