The earliest pomological use of the term 'true-to-name' of which the writer is aware was in a paper entitled "The Study of Apple Tree Characters and Its Bearing on Variety Substitution", which the late Dr. J.K. Shaw presented at the 1914 meeting of the American Society for Horticultural Science. His opening sentence in that paper, "The failure of varietites to come true to name is one of the serious difficulties of the orchardist, and one that seems to be on the increase", indicates why he became interested in a study of this sort.
